11. In this problem you need to simulate part of a Yahtzee game. This turns out to be more complicated than I expected. To solve it, l created a dictionary (I called it "count") where the key is the number on the die and the value is the number of times that number is rolled. So, if you roll a Yahtzee of 3's, your dictionary would have the single entry count[3] = 5. You can get a list of the keys by using keys = list(count.keys()) and a list of the values using values = list(count.values()). With these, you can use the Wikipedia entry to logic things out. If there is a 5 in values, for instance, you have a Yahtzee; a 4 means you have 4 of a kind; a 3 is three of a kind if there is no 2, otherwise, it is a Full House. To get the straights, use the information in the boxes on the Wikipedia entry - if len(values) == 5, you have five different die values, but it's only a large straight if you're missing either a 1 or a 6. The small straight is a bit more complicated but similar. After you find all these, calculate the chance score as the sum of the rolls - then return either a score you've already calculated or the chance value, whichever is larger. Wheh!
