One day, nClassmates classmates decided to play an exciting game. They formed a circle and assigned themselves player numbers from 0 to nClassmates - 1 in a clockwise direction. Then, they counted from 1 to nTimes, inclusive, starting with player 0 and going in a clockwise direction. Each player spoke out the current number, and then, his clockwise neighbor spoke out the next number, etc. If a player got a number that was divisible by 3, he would cry out the word "hello" instead of speaking out the number. Return the number of times that player who cried out "hello".
