{[1,r|g=g+_r1,6|]~g=r*3.5|_X\g=0?r┘r=r+2
Thispretty much literally does what the challenge asks for; seems the shortest way to get the distribution right.
##Explanation
Explanation
{ DO infinitely
[1,r| FOR a=1, a<=r (at start, r == 2), a++
g=g+ Add to g (0 at start)
_r1,6| a random number between 1 and 6 incl.
] NEXT
~g=r*3.5 IF the result of all dice rolls equals the expected value
|_X THEN quit
\g=0 ELSE, reset the dice total
?r┘ PRINT the number of dice used
r=r+2 and add 2 dice.
END IF and LOOP are courtiously provided by QBIC at EOF.
