| I'm really sorry, I didn't want to bother but it seems I can't wrap my head around the problem. * I have a pool of N d6. * I want to keep only the highest die result. * If the highset is 6 and there are other 6 as well, every other 6 count as +1. Example: Pool is 5d6, and I roll: 3, 6, 2, 6, 6 Output should be 8. I can get the highest value out of a pool of d6, but it's the second part that eludes me. |

| You can do it this way: 1. Get the collection M of maximal values. 2. If M consists of 6s, add the number of values in M to 5. 3. Otherwise, take any value from M In Troll, this is written as M := maximal 5d6;where you change the 5 to other values for different pool sizes. |

| Thank you very much for your help! I was thinking of something along those lines but I couldn't figure out how to write it: maximal, I'll try to remember that! |
