This is an absolute nightmare to work out because your odds on the second set depends on the outcome of the first set.

If for example the first set is 1 2 3 4 5 6 then at least one of your dice is guaranteed to be correct in set 2.

If you roll 1 1 1 1 1 1 in the first set then they could all be wrong.

I don't know if it's even possible to work out tbh but I'm pretty sure it's a fuck load higher than anyone's suggested so far.

Its exactly as we said above, 6^6 = 46656 combos, 15 of which are 4 1's and 2 2's

that's what makes it easy to work out, we know set 1 so it's a simple matter of working out the number of permutations

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the math for rolling 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2 in any order is

[ 6!/(4!*2!) ] / [ 1/(6^6) ]

So that, twice, as the outcome of the first roll does not influence the outcome of the second roll.

No we don't.

OP gave set 1 as an example. It could actually be any one of 46656 combos.
