2. I'd take the bet, as for each roll of the dice there is a 1 in 6 chance of getting a 6. You can't add up the 3 rolls and say it is a 50/50 chance of getting a 6.
OK, you get the point for 2. Yes, you should the bet because you have a better than 0.57 chance of winning, as the chance of rolling at least one six in three rolls is a little less than 0.43
