[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 622554] Re: Wrong wording on the dice answer

[Jordi Mas]

Thanks. Let me clarify, the answer that gbrainy is giving and accepting
as valid is correct: 9/36 (or equivalent).

What is wrong is the explanation of the valid answer:

"There are 9 of 36 possibilities of getting an even number"

it should say:

"There are 9 of 36 possibilities of getting simultaneously an even
number in each one of the dice".

Please, confirm that you agree (or not) in this.

Thanks,

Jordi,

Binary package hint: gbrainy

One of the questions in GBrainy asks:
"Two fair 6 sided dices are thrown simultaneously. What is the probability of getting two even numbers? Answer using a fraction (e.g.: 1/2)."
And the answer according to GBrainy is:
"There are 9 of 36 possibilities of getting an even number."

Actually there are that many possibilities of getting TWO even numbers. The odds of getting just one are much higher - 3/4.
