It dawned on me later that’s maybe what you meant.

Not sure, and I don’t even know where my old stats books ar to find the formula.

Would it be 1:5.5?

After waking up, this is a survivability problem.

Final survivablity is the product of the separate events.

First is 5/6ths. Second is 4/5ths.

Product is 20/30 or 2/3 survivability.

Fatality is 1-surviv, or 1/3.

Meanwhile, 2 tries of 6 is also 1/3.

Final answer.
