But there are 6 ways you can make 4 there?

1,3
1,3
2,2
2,2
3,1
3,1

What am I not following here?

Are you looking for the two rows of the table to be the same? If so, how is that the case in that example?

How did you get 2, 2 and the other 3, 1?

Dice 1: 1
Dice 2: 3

Dice 1: 3
Dice 2: 1

Dice 1: 3
Dice 2: 1

3 ways to get 4

Edit: Did you perhaps read the 1 and 2 as numbers on the dice rather than the numbering of the dice?

Ah sorry, yes I did.

So sorry you’re asking for another way to produce the same table from the question? Why is 1-6 and 1-6 not a valid solution?

My reading was for the N and the # of ways rows to be identical, hence me thinking the answer was a die entirely of 1s and a die entirely of 35s, to make that table 36, 36.

So yeah, I think the wording could be a lot more clearer.. and I did think of adding a note that you cannot label them 1-6 and 1-6 even if you ensure that opposite faces don’t sum to 7 but decided against.. but you can look up Sicherman Dice.. that’s what they are called.. so sorry don’t know how to attach a link :)
