I have 2 standard, 6-sided dice; one is brown, and the other is black. I roll them both. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers that I roll is less than 3?

I have 2 standard, 6-sided dice; one is brown, and the other is black. I roll them both. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers that I roll is less than 3?
The only possible sum less than 3 is 2.
That is, you have to roll a 1 on each die.
The chance of rolling two 1's is (1 / 6) • (1 / 6) = 1 / 36
