public static int stuff(Random r, int m) {
    int c = 0;
    int t = 0;
    int d = r.nextInt(m);
    
    // Point A
    while (c <= 3) {
        // Point B
        d = r.nextInt(6) + 1;
        if (d <= m) {
            c++;
            // Point C
        } else {
            c = 0;
            // Point D
        }
        t++;
    }

    // Point E
    return t;
}
