A Game of Dice Puzzle (Posted on 2022-11-14) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Aaron offers Berenice to play a game of dice with him. Aaron explains the game to Berenice as follows:

"We each get one die, the highest one wins. If we tie, I win, but since you always lose when you roll a one, if you roll a one you can roll it again. If you get a one the second time you have to keep it."

What is each person's probability of winning? What are the probabilities of winning if Berenice can keep rolling until she gets something besides a one?
