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?
Hmm, so maybe https://xkcd.com/2501/ is related.
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.

Just sad :(

Extinction of megafauna is a defining trend of the last 50,000 years. Here, the authors use genomic data to infer population histories of 139 extant megafauna, suggesting that their population decline is better explained by Homo sapiens expansion than by climate change.
