Returns a number that is between 0 and 20, which is the number of dice that rolled higher than 5.

Roll twelve six-sided dice, and return the number that are above three, using variables.

[h: DiceTimes = 12]
[h: DiceSides = 6]
[h: DiceSuccess = 3]
[t: countsuccess(DiceTimes, DiceSides, DiceSuccess)]
Returns a number than is between 0 and 12, which is the number of dice that rolled higher than 3.
