Depends on how many numbers are on each cube. Say one has m numbers and the other has n numbers, you can get mxn outcomes.

* * * * *

This could get rather complicated!

By definition, a cube has only six faces and so each die can have only six numbers on it. BUT, these numbers need not all be different.

If they are all different then m = n = 6 and there are 36 outcomes in all.

More generally, a single die can have

6 outcomes (6 numbers each appearing once)

5 outcomes (4 numbers singly and 1 pair)

4 outcomes (3 numbers singly and 1 triple or 2 singles and 2 pairs)

3 outcomes (2 singles and 1 quartet or 1 single and 1 pair and 1 triple or 3 pairs)

2 outcomes (1 single and 1 quintet or 1 pair and 1 quartet or 2 triplets)

1 outcome (1 sextet).

So m can have any of the six values 1,2,3,4,5,6. And similarly, so can n.

And therefore, m*n can have the following values:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 12, 15, 16, 18, 18, 20, 24, 25, 30, 36.

How many outcomes are there if you roll two six- sided number cubes?

There are 36 possible outcomes. But if the cubes are identical, then for every possible outcome, there's another one that looks just like it, so only 18 that you can identify.


What is the probability of rolling a sum of more than 4 with two number cubes?

With two six-sided dice, there are 36 possible outcomes. Let's look at the outcomes which the sum is less than or equal to 4: {1.1 1.2 1.3 2.1 2.2 3.1} That's 6 outcomes, which leaves 30 outcomes with greater than 4. So 30/36 = 5/6 or 83.333%
