What happens when a 5/5 blocks a 6/4?
3
I was playing MTG with my friend. I attacked with a 6/4 and he blocked with a 5/5. He says my 6/4 should die because its toughness is less than its block even though my creatures attack (a 6) is bigger than his creatures toughness (5).

Unless one of those creatures has First Strike or Double Strike, they will deal combat damage simultaneously. The following will happen:
- Your 6/4 will deal 6 damage to your opponent's 5/5. (Note that 6 ≥ 5.)
At the same time, your opponent's 5/5 will deal 5 damage to your 6/4. (Note that 5 ≥ 4.)- State based actions kick in, see that both creatures have damage greater than or equal to their toughness, and both creatures die.

Minor nitpick, Double Strike would also allow one of the creatures to kill the other before taking damage.

Your last bullet point could be misread in that it requires more damage than toughness to kill a creature, rather than equal or more.
