You're at the gate of Heaven and St. Peter asks you to play Dice with him. If you roll a 5 or 6, he'll let you into Heaven. However, if you roll a 2,3 or 4, you'll be sent to hell. If you roll a 1, he will let you re-roll. What is the chance of you entering Heaven?

We can ignore occurrence of 1 as they just reset the gamble. So of the results that matter $3$ are bad and $2$ are good.
Then there's the theological question on whether Saint Peter would actually allow you to gamble on salvation or damnation with such odds, or whether perchance it is either a test or a trick?
