Simulating Many Dice Rolls
Marchmont Games is checking the digital die in a board-game app before release. A tester complains that sixes feel rare, so the studio runs the die 1000 times and counts the sixes, then compares that count against what a fair die should give. The die is fair by design: six faces numbered 1 to 6, each equally likely, every roll independent of the last. The run must be repeatable so the bug report can be reproduced, so NumPy's classic global random stream is set from a seed before the first roll.
Task: Print how many of the 1000 rolls came up six.
Input
One line holding a single integer, the seed.
Output
One line holding the count of sixes as a plain integer.
Example:
Input:
1
Output:
170
