When I look at my answer compared to the expected, I see the mistake, but when I look at the data, it would appear that the expected is wrong.

For input data set three (for instance), the roll is a "big-straight", but the expected is saying it's a "small-straight". Am I missing something?

Expected answer was:

big-straight three small-straight pair two-pairs full-house three small-straight three pair pair pair yacht pair big-straight small-straight yacht pair small-straight small-straight three big-straight small-straight pair small-straight two-pairs big-straight yacht yacht pair small-straight

Your answer was:

big-straight three big-straight pair two-pairs full-house three big-straight three pair pair pair yacht pair big-straight big-straight yacht pair big-straight big-straight three big-straight big-straight pair big-straight two-pairs big-straight yacht yacht pair big-straight

Your input data:

Big straight - numbers from 2 to 6
Small straight - numbers from 1 to 5

Wow, I feel foolish. I was working on the idea that a big-straight was 1-6 and small was either 1-5 or 2-6. I totally missing the different explanation in the directions.

Thanks

And I still didn't say that right. I was thinking...

Big = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Small = 1, 2, 3, 4 or 2, 3, 4, 5 or 3, 4, 5, 6

It's this pattern I'm used to from playing Yahtzee a lot in the past.
