An individual is playing a game that involves spinning a wheel with 7 sections. 6 sections are the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. The last section of the wheel is silver and in order to win the game the individual must spin the wheel twice and each spin needs to land on the silver section. Assume that each section has an equal chance of being landed on. What is the probability that when spin twice the wheel lands on the silver section both times?
