Because
>>> from itertools import product
>>> die = {1,2,3,4,5,6}
>>> dice = set(product(die, die, die, die))
>>> sum(int(max(a,b) > max(c,d)) for a,b,c,d in dice)
505
>>> sum(int(max(a,b) <= max(c,d)) for a,b,c,d in dice)
791
I'd say her odds are 505 for and 791 against. I hope my gambling
vocabulary is not too far off.
