    "sum up to N" in general, does mean - sum up to exactly N. like here. However since this has caused a bit of confusion we have re-worded it.

          Statement is not clear. Sum up to six here means sum = 6, not atmost 6. It should be written as sum-up to 6 or sum is equal to 6.

            Sum up to six means sum <= 6.

              Exactly, but answer is accepted only if we take sum = 6 not <= 6.

                I solved it with that in mind though, and I got the correct answer. Keep in mind that the throws have to be different and getting 1 on first, 2 on second is the same as getting 2 on first and 1 on second dice.
