No 😀

Your answer was correct.

But isn't it weird?

If you know where the white face is the probability of two white faces is 1/2 or 1/6.
It has to be one of those. Yet not knowing decreases the likelihood to 1/7

I give credit to ParShooter.

It's important to indicate that the adjudicator has taken care of the first part of the equation.
