1997 AHSME Problem 10

Two six-sided dice are fair in the sense that each face is equally likely to turn up. However, one of the dice has the 4 replaced by 3 and the other die has the 3 replaced by 4 . When these dice are rolled, what is the probability that the sum is an odd number?

\textbf{(A)}\ \frac{1}{3}\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \frac{4}{9}\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \frac{1}{2}\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ \frac{5}{9}\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \frac{11}{18}
