Need help fixing my code...

Question

I'm currently working on a problem for school where you have to make a game called Pig.
I worked on it but need help on fixing it because it won't work the way I want it to, and I'm not sure what the problem is.
public class Pig
    public static void main (String[] args)
      int num1, num2, num3 = 0, num4, num5, num6 =0;
      String answer="y";
      PairOfDice die1 = new PairOfDice(); // die # 1
      PairOfDice die2 = new PairOfDice(); // die # 2
      while (num3 <= 100 || num6 <= 100)
      // rolls dice
      while (answer.equalsIgnoreCase("y"))
          num1 = die1.roll();
          num2 = die2.roll();
          if (num1 == 1 || num2 == 1) // when either face is 1
            {num3 = num3;
             answer = "n";}
          else  
            if (num1 == 1 && num2 == 1) // when both faces are 1
                {num3 = 0;
                 answer = "n";}
            else
                num3 += num1 + num2; // sum of two faces
      System.out.println (num1 +" "+ num2); // shows both faces
      System.out.println (num3); // shows the sum of faces
      System.out.println ("Do you want to roll again? (y/n)");
      answer = Keyboard.readString();
      if (answer.equalsIgnoreCase("n"))
        answer = "1";
      while (answer.equalsIgnoreCase("1"))
          while (num6 <= 20)
             num4 = die1.roll();
             num5 = die2.roll();
             if (num4 == 1 || num5 == 1) // when either face is 1
                 {num6 = num6;
                  answer = "2";}
             else  
                if (num4 == 1 && num5 == 1) // when both faces are 1
                    {num6 = 0;
                     answer = "2";}
                else
                    num6 += num4 + num5; // sum of two faces
          System.out.println (num4 +" "+ num5); // shows both faces
          System.out.println (num6); // shows the sum of faces
          answer = "y";
      Here is my code. It runs okay, but when the dice rolls a 1, it doesn't jump to the next while loop. I need the program to go to the "while loop answer = 1" when the dice rolls a 1 from the "while loop answer = y". If you see my code, I did it by making the answer = "n" to make it jump to the next while loop. I'm sorry if my explanation is confusing. It's my first time asking for help here...
You don't have to fix the code for me, as long as you tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Please help me...Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

Hint: all your code does NOT have to be in one method. You have numerous loops some nested inside others. This is starting to get mighty messy and can be tidied up if you think about how you can break some of the code down into smaller chunks and place these into their own methods.
while (answer.equalsIgnoreCase("1"))What other case is there?
