In Sample Case #1, there are multiple ways to form a straight using all 4 dice. One possible
way is shown in the image above.
In Sample Case #2, since none of the dice can show an integer greater than 5, there is no way to
have a straight with more than 5 dice. There are multiple ways to form a straight with
exactly 5 dice. For example, pick the integers 4 and 5 for both d5's
and then integers 1, 2, and 3 for three of the d4's to form 1,2,3,4,5.
In Sample Case #3, it is possible to form the straight 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 by discarding one
d4 and using the d4's, d5, and d6 to get 1 through 4;
the d7's to get 5 through 7; and the d10's to get 8
and 9. There is no way to form a straight of length 10, so this is the best that
can be done.
In Sample Case #4, we can only form a straight of length 1, but we can do so by picking
any integer for the d10 we are given.
