There are 21 possible combinations of 2 dice. The total with the most possible combinations is 7, which has three. (6+1,5+2,4+3)
This is not right. By this logic 6 and 8 have equal chances of being rolled as I can roll a six through the numbers, 5-1, 4-2, 3-3. When counting the probability of a number to be rolled you have to assume the dice do not care the order in which they are rolled. That is to say, a roll of 5-2, and 2-5 are NOT the same. It is for this reason we find that 7 truly has many more ways a being rolled. 2-5, 5-2, 6-1, 1-6, 3-4, 4-3. While both 6 and 8 have less because one of their dice rolls cannot be counted twice the double roll. For six this is the 3-3 roll, and for eight its the 4-4 roll. That is why 7 is the most common roll on two dice.

What is the most likely combined score when throwing two dice?
For normal dice, and assuming "combined" refers to the sum, the answer is 7.
Why does a 10 sided dice have 9 for the highest number?
Ten-sided dice are often used in games that require a "percentage roll", such as Dungeons & Dragons. Players roll two 10-sided dice, and the numbers rolled are used as digits to form a number between 0 and 99. Using a "0" instead of "10" simplifies this process. For most other games and instances, zeroes on ten-sided dice represent tens. Just FYI - some ten-sided dice do actually have a "10" instead of a "0", but they're fairly rare. I got 4 of them in a board game called Filthy Rich, which - ironically enough - uses numerous references to rolling zeroes instead of tens. Go figure.
What is the most likely roll in dice?
Assuming you are only rolling one die, then each of the six numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6) has an equal chance (1 sixth) of landing face up.
How did the number seven become the most popular lucky number?
In the game of Craps, you have two dice and bet on which number comes up. There are more possibly ways to make a seven then any other number therefore 7 is the number to bet on.
