No. Each roll is independent of the previous roll (on a fair dice). The same is true for flipping a coin. Getting a six your first roll does not make you any more or less likely to roll a six the second time.
The odds of rolling any number in one roll of one die is 1 in 1. The odds of rolling the same number in one roll of one die is 1 in 6. Each die is unrelated, so the odds of rolling a pair using two dice in one roll is 1 in 1 times 1 in 6, or 1 in 6.Now, look at the second pair of dice. The odds of rolling any number other than a number on the first pair is 5 in 6. The odds of rolling the same number in one roll of one die is 1 in 6. Each die is unrelated, so the odds of rolling a pair using two dice in one roll, not the pair in the first roll is 5 in 6 times 1 in 6, or 5 in 36.Now, look at the third pair of dice. The odds of rolling any number other than a number on the first two pairs is 4 in 6. The odds of rolling the same number in one roll of one die is 1 in 6. Each die is unrelated, so the odds of rolling a pair using two dice in one roll, not one of the first two pairs is 4 in 6 times 1 in 6, or 4 in 36.To compute the total odds of rolling three pairs of numbers using 6 dice, simply multiply these odds together. That is 1 in 6 times 5 in 36 times 4 in 36, or 30 in 7776. Reducing that to lowest common fraction, you get 5 in 1296.(This calculation assumes that the three pairs are different. If two or three of the pairs are allowed to be the same, the computation is different.)
About 1.5% The odds of rolling a 7 on any particular throw is 1/6. (There are six ways you can roll a seven: (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1), out of 36 possible outcomes.) Therefore, the odds that you don't roll a 7 on a particular roll is 5/6. The odds that you don't roll a 7 in 23 rolls is: (5/6)^23, or approximately .015=1.5%
1/1296 (0.07716%)
No. If you have a good combination after the first or second roll you can score it right there.
Five strikes in a row.
Roll the dice and who gets the highest number wins. If there is another tie, roll again.
The odds of rolling any double number is 1:36
As in poker, a Full House is a roll where you have both a 3 of a kind, and a pair. Full houses score 25 points.link for help with Yahtzee:

The probability is 120/7776 = 0.0154, approx.

The odds of winning roll up the rim at Tim Hortons will depend on the prize. The odds to win any prize within the contest a 1:6 and the company audits on a weekly basis.
