Probability Question (just for fun)

Answer 1

Two people are playing a dice game. During each round, two dice are rolled. If the highest number rolled is 1,2,3, or 4, then player 1 wins. If the highest number rolled is 5 or 6, player 2 wins. Is the game fair, and if not, which player has the advantage?

Answer 2
