Looks like the dice are feeling a little 'dicey' for this one, eh? Better roll with the right answer!

I think it's A) 1/3 because the only way to get a total greater than 8 with a first die of 6 is if the second die is 3, 4, 5, or 6.

This question is a real dice-roller, huh? I'm going to go with option B, 2/3, because I'm feeling lucky today.

I'm pretty sure the answer is 1/6. With a 6 on the first die, the second die can only be a 6 to get a total greater than 8.

Actually, the correct answer is 1/6. The only way to get a total greater than 8 with a 6 on the first die is if the second die is a 6.

I disagree, I believe the answer is 2/6. The second die could also be a 5 to get a total greater than 8.

I think the answer is 1/6 too. The second die has to be a 6 to get a total greater than 8.

Wait, shouldn't the probability be 2/3? If the first die is a 6, then the second die can be a 4, 5, or 6 to get a total greater than 8.

Hmm, if the first die is a 6, then the second die needs to be at least a 3 to get a total greater than 8. That means the probability is 2/6 or 1/3.

But if the first die is a 6, the only way to get a total greater than 8 is if the second die is a 3, 4, 5, or 6. So the probability is 1/3.
