Magic Potioin Table probabilities

One of the things that I like most about Eball is the challenge dice. They are just such a great mechanic. I am working on some house rules (which are already becoming so bizarrely complex that I am struggling to see even me getting to grips with them) and want to use the two dice rolls from the potion table to simulate various things but I just can't get my head around some of the probabilities.

I know for example that the chances of rolling two X's are 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36 but I have tried to work out the probabilities for all of results on page 11 and I just can't seem to get them to add up.

Any chance of some help here? Thanks in advance chaps.

Tom you are a star mate! Much appreciated (now I just have to go and work out why I couldn't get it to add up...)
