Not sure where to put this so hope this is ok here.

According to Pascal, the chance of throwing a double six with two dice is 1:36.

To my layman's thinking there are 11 possible results throwing two dice.. so why is throwing a 12 not one in eleven?

I've probably missed something that is obvious to others.

Good graphic Chris, however, you might let your friends in mathigon know there are duplicate pairings of dice in the 5's and 11's columns.
