--- Part Two ---

|
|
|
To make things a little more interesting, the Elf introduces one additional
|
|
rule. Now, J cards are jokers - wildcards that can act like whatever card would
|
|
make the hand the strongest type possible.
|
|
|
|
To balance this, J cards are now the weakest individual cards, weaker even
|
|
than 2. The other cards stay in the same order: A, K, Q, T, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3,
|
|
2, J.
|
|
|
|
J cards can pretend to be whatever card is best for the purpose of determining
|
|
hand type; for example, QJJQ2 is now considered four of a kind. However, for the
|
|
purpose of breaking ties between two hands of the same type, J is always treated
|
|
as J, not the card it's pretending to be: JKKK2 is weaker than QQQQ2 because J
|
|
is weaker than Q.
|
|
|
|
Now, the above example goes very differently:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
32T3K 765
|
|
T55J5 684
|
|
KK677 28
|
|
KTJJT 220
|
|
QQQJA 483
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- 32T3K is still the only one pair; it doesn't contain any jokers, so its
|
|
strength doesn't increase.
|
|
- KK677 is now the only two pair, making it the second-weakest hand.
|
|
- T55J5, KTJJT, and QQQJA are now all four of a kind! T55J5 gets rank 3, QQQJA
|
|
gets rank 4, and KTJJT gets rank 5.
|
|
|
|
With the new joker rule, the total winnings in this example are 5905.
|
|
|
|
Using the new joker rule, find the rank of every hand in your set. What are the
|
|
new total winnings?
