Mexen¹ is a game of dice played by 2 people. Each roll consists of 2 dice. The game mostly consists of bluffing about your dice, but here we’re only focussing on the scoring. Contrary to a lot of other dice games, your points don’t just equal the sum of your dice rolls.

Instead, the scoring works as follows:

• A Mex always lands you the most points, namely 1000;

  or

• After those, we have the doubles, like

  , …

  If both players have a duplicate, the player with the higher pair wins, as your points equal the rolled result times 100.

• In any other case the rolls get sorted so the higher result is put first. The rolls as pictured below would result in a score of 43.

Assignment

Create a function mexen(s0, s1, t0, t1) that determines the winner, where s0 and s1 are the rolls of player 1 and t0 and t1 belong to player 2. If player 1 wins, you return "speler 1", if player 2 wins, you return "speler 2" and otherwise you return "gelijkspel" (it’s a tie).

To create this function you first create a helper function, score(worp1, worp2), which determines the score of a single player given 2 rolls.

Take a look at the examples below:

Examples

>>> mexen(1, 2, 1, 3)
speler 1

because

>>> score(1, 2)
1000
>>> score(1, 3)
31

>>> mexen(3, 3, 2, 1)
speler 2

because

>>> score(3, 3)
300
>>> score(2, 1)
1000

>>> mexen(6, 6, 2, 2)
speler 1

because

>>> score(6, 6)
600
>>> score(2, 2)
200

>>> mexen(4, 2, 2, 4)
gelijkspel

because

>>> score(4, 2)
42
>>> score(2, 4)
42
