Because it was a 2d6, meaning that two six sided dice were thrown; the same
way you roll in Monopoly. When you'll, there is only one way you can get a
two, but there are 6 different ways to get a seven on the same set of dice.
So you will statistically get 7's more often than any other number as long
as the dice are perfectly weighted.
