Oh oh, you're correct :( How did I not notice that; guess too much thinking about standard card games, plus no hand in the example input is a Five Of A Kind.

Here's a (hopefully correct) solution (in Python) where a Five Of A Kind hand is not allowed:

Code

i = open('day7_in.txt')

from collections import Counter

card_values = {
    'A': 14,
    'K': 13,
    'Q': 12,
    'J': 0,
    'T': 10
}

deques = []

for line in i:
    if not line.strip():
        continue
    cards, bid = line.split()
    cards_repr = [int(card_values.get(card, card)) for card in cards]
    counts = Counter(card for card in cards if card != 'J')
    deque_type = [times for card, times in counts.most_common(5)]

    jokers_left = cards.count('J')
    for i in range(jokers_left):
        for j, n in enumerate(deque_type):
            if n < 4:
                deque_type[j] += 1
                jokers_left -= 1
                break
    if jokers_left:
        if jokers_left <= 4:
            deque_type.append(jokers_left)
        else:
            deque_type += [4, 1]
    deques.append((deque_type, cards_repr, int(bid), cards))

deques.sort()

ans = 0
for n, d in enumerate(deques, 1):
    ans += n*d[2]

print(ans)

 

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?

That's true and so you could say that only doctor's have to know. Otoh, a lot of people have stockpiles of leftovers from past treatments at home. It's also simply a surprising number, for most people who do know at least, I guess.

I've seen the posters on display in the botanical garden of the University of Freiburg and was very impressed.

 

Produced by the MAdLand consortium and made publically accessible via Zenodo. The series was presented in exhibition form in several botanical gardens across Germany this summer. Only this German version exists, unfortunately.
