    Tanya is incorrect.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Each time you roll the dice, you have a 1 in 6 shot in getting any number. Rolling a 6 does not lower the odds of rolling another 6. Therefore the odds of both of these are (1/6) ^4.

    This does however change if you are allowed to roll these numbers in any order. In that case, the first batch would be easier.
