As explained by quoting_mungo.livejournal.com: ”Essentially, you roll three dice. Let's say you get 5,2,6. Remove the six. You have a total of seven. Now roll two more dice since you removed a six. Get 4 and 6. You have a total of eleven after you remove that six. Roll two more dice.  Etc until you get no more sixes. ”
