STRANGE DICE, DIVISIBLE BY 5

Two fair, six-sided dice are rolled. They are marked so that one die has the numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11
and the other has the numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers rolled

All possible sums:
[3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23]
I count: 36

All in there that are divisible by 5:
[5, 5, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15]
I count 7

The probability as a fraction:  $$\frac{7}{36}$$  If Your brain hurts, use python
