No, you're the one who should go back to school. If you actually read my comment a bit above your one, I have given a thorough explanation disproving your methods of calculating coinciding events. You have to multiply the actual fractions, you do not add the denominators.

Applying YOUR WRONG method

Okay, LOOK WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DO IT YOUR WAY. As you can see, I've followed your procedure and ended up with a 1/12 chance for every combination of two dice being rolled. Guess what? 36 * 1/12 results in 3 which exceeds 1 which just shows you're wrong. All probabilities within a sample space MUST ADD UP TO ONE.

Applying THE CORRECT method

Alright, the table above is what you're supposed to follow. As you can see, the fractions were calculated by multiplying the probability of each variable (1/6 times 1/6 equals 1/36). This is now valid because 36 times 1/36 equals 1 which satisfies the sample space value of 1.

An event 1/1000 happening at the same time as an event 1/12 is the product, which is 1/12000. You are wrong, as I have contradicted your procedure by applying it to the sample space within rolling 2 dice.

I recommend you also visit http://www.mathgoodies.com/lessons/vol6/independent_events.html if you somehow do not agree with my thorough explanation.
