The instructions for part 2 are missing info about how to handle the Four Of A Kind and a joker case. Wasted quite some time because I assumed that the remaining joker would remain unused, but turns out it turns your deck into Five Of A Kind.

Did everybody else just expect this?

    For part 2, the only thing that I missed at first was the JJJJJ edge case. My approach was:

    • count the amount of jokers
    • remove them from the hand
    • count the rest
    • add the amount of jokers to the biggest set in the hand

    Last step fails if there are no other cards left after you remove the jokers…
