# Score a single throw of dice in *Yacht*
The dice game [Yacht](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yacht_(dice_game)) is from
the same family as Poker Dice, Generala and particularly Yahtzee, of which it
is a precursor. In the game, five dice are rolled and the result can be entered
in any of twelve categories. The score of a throw of the dice depends on
category chosen.
## Scores in Yacht
Category Score Example
Ones 1 × number of ones 1 1 1 4 5 scores 3
Twos 2 × number of twos 2 2 3 4 5 scores 4
Threes 3 × number of threes 3 3 3 3 3 scores 15
Fours 4 × number of fours 1 2 3 3 5 scores 0
Fives 5 × number of fives 5 1 5 2 5 scores 15
Sixes 6 × number of sixes 2 3 4 5 6 scores 6
Full House Total of the dice 3 3 3 5 5 scores 19
Four of a Kind Total of the four dice 4 4 4 4 6 scores 16
Little Straight 30 points 1 2 3 4 5 scores 30
Big Straight 30 points 2 3 4 5 6 scores 30
Choice Sum of the dice 2 3 3 4 6 scores 18
Yacht 50 points 4 4 4 4 4 scores 50
If the dice do not satisfy the requirements of a category, the score is zero.
If, for example, *Four Of A Kind* is entered in the *Yacht* category, zero
points are scored. A *Yacht* scores zero if entered in the *Full House* category.
## Task
Given a list of values for five dice and a category, your solution should return
the score of the dice for that category. If the dice do not satisfy the requirements
of the category your solution should return 0. You can assume that five values
will always be presented, and the value of each will be between one and six
inclusively. You should not assume that the dice are ordered.
