What is the proability of rolling a sum of 6 and then a sum of 6 again in two consecutive rolls of a pair of dice?

1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36

to roll a sum of 6: there are 5 ways you can get a sum of 6 ( 3-3 2-4 4-2 1-5 5-1) so the probability of rolling a sum of 6 is 5/36. to roll a sum of 6 again : 5/36
-----> 5/36 * 5/36 = 25/(36*36) = 5^2/6^4
