D: 1484.0 B: 1516.0

I have two dice whose faces are all painted different colours. I number the faces of one of them \(1,2,2,3,3,6\) and the other \(1,3,3,4,5,6.\) I can now throw a total of 3 in two different ways using the two number \(2\)'s on the first die once each. Show that there are seven different ways of throwing a total of 6. I now renumber the dice (again only using integers in the range 1 to 6) with the results shown in the following table \noindent
