Does not matter. The chance for odd and even are 50 %.
.
If dice A is odd and dice B is odd the result is even.
If dice A is odd and dice B is even the result is odd.
If dice A is even and dice B is odd the result is odd.
If dice A is even and dice B is even the result is even.

You can get :
1. one of them odd= odd
2. both odd = even
3. both even= even

It is more likely to have even number as total

But the chance of 1 dice being odd is 50%.
The chance of 0 dice being odd or 2 dice being odd is 25% each.
Thus the chance for an even number is 50% as is the chance for an odd number.

A and Bare each rolling a fair, six-sided die. They roll their dice simultaneously, individually keeping a sum until someone reaches 100; whomever reaches 100 first wins. (If they reach 100 on the same roll, it's a tie.)

A's die has sides 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. B's die has sides 1, 1, 1, 6, 6, and 6. Who is more likely to win?

Thanks Gaurav for sharing...

You are going to flip 8 fair coins in total and three of the first four have already landed tails. What do you expect the total count of tails to be when you're finished flipping all 8 coins?
