A die is weighted so that the probability of a 1 is 0.2, the probability of a 2 is 0.2, the probability of a 3 is 0.2, the probability of a 4 is 0.1, the probability of a 5 is 0.2, and the probability of a 6 is 0.1. An experiment consists of rolling the die until the total sum of all the dice rolled is greater than or equal to 3. If YY is the number of times the die is rolled, how many distinct values of YY are possible?
