    'given that the sum was lesser than 4' makes no sense to me.

    How many ways can the dice get 5?
    How many ways can each die land (how many sides are there) and how many for two?
    Start working on it.

    This is like asking what's the probability of flipping a coin and getting heads, given that it came up tails.
