There is a 1/36 or a ~2.8% chance that a player will roll two sixes. Because the dice is cubed, the player will have a 1/6 probability of rolling a six one time. Because the player needs to get six 2 times in a row, you would simply need to multiply 1/6 by itself twice(1/6•1/6 or 1/6^2) which equals 1/36.
