. You and your friend are playing the following game: two dice are rolled; if the total showing is

divisible by 3, you pay your friend $6. How much should he pay you when the total is not divisible
by 3 if you want to make the game fair? A fair game is one in which your expected winnings are
$0.

Answer:

3$
