Two 6-sided dice are rolled at the same time. How many outcomes correspond to the event that the sum of the numbers is 5?

Well I don't know !
Let's count them.

You can get a 5 if the cubes
fall in any one of these ways:

1 . . . 4
2 . . . 3
3 . . . 2
4 . . . 1

That looks like four possibilities.
Can you think of any others that I missed ?
