Sounds right, but is wrong, sentence 18

A 1-in-6 chance of a six is a chance on each roll, not a promise: you can roll 6 times and get no six at all, and that happens about 1 time in 3.

Who acts: 1 6 chance, you, that · What happens: be, roll, get, happen · To what, where: roll, 1 6 chance, six, all

This is a sentence of the lesson «Sounds right, but is wrong» of the world course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (1 6 chance, you, that), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×2, R7-rel-agree ×3. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
