doublesix

Doublesix is the term used to describe the outcome of rolling two six-sided dice where both dice show six. The arrangement is denoted 6-6 and represents the highest possible throw on two dice. In many games, achieving a double six may trigger a bonus, advance a player, or end a round, depending on the rules in use. The probability of rolling a double six with two fair dice is 1/36, or about 2.78%.

In craps, the roll of 12 corresponds to double six and is commonly called "boxcars," though the term double six is also used informally. The concept of a double six is sometimes discussed in probability theory as an example of independent, uniform outcomes.

Doublesix is also used as a proper noun, appearing as a brand name or company name in various sectors, including entertainment and gaming. Because it is a relatively generic phrase, its specific meaning depends on the context and the organization behind the name.
