ok... so what values can you get, greater than 8 and even....do you know..?

There should only be 10 and 12. We did this in class today and our teacher was trying to tell is that it was 24/36 even though most of us just said 4/36 because there are 3 chances for a 10 to be had and the only once for 12.... I'm just trying to figure out who was right, most of the class or my teacher.
