Day 7: Camel Cards

Megathread guidelines

Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ , pastebin, or github (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

JavaScript

Ended up misreading the instructions due to trying to go fast. Built up a system to compare hand values like its poker before I realized its not poker

Likely last day im going to be able to write code for due to exams coming up
