    Pr(6 )=(1/6)*6*(5/6)^5  which is the probability of getting a six in the first    six rolls( there are six ways to do it, that accounts for the 6.
The same probability for the next six rolls, so
Pr(6,6)=((1/6)*6*(5/6)^5 )^2=(5/6)^10=.161
So there is a .161 probability of getting one six in the first six rolls, and a six in the second six rolls.
