Its 1/6 to roll a 7 with two 6-sided dice. You can get weighted dice that make it more likely to land on a certain number.

Does having one weighted dice change the odds at all? My gut says no but reality is a tricky bitch and I’m convinced im wrong somehow.

    So long as you roll the weighted die first, the odds the unweighted die lands on the number you need is 1/6. If you roll the unweighted die first though, your odds of getting the needed number are no longer 1/6.

      The odds that the first die landed on the correct number are 1 in 6, though, so if you’re considering the throw of both dice as a whole, the chance is still 1 in 6 regardless of which die you throw first. (If you’re rolling the unweighted die first and then evaluating the chance of getting a 7 based on that outcome, then you’re correct.)
