I barely registered a difference between part 1 and part 2.
I suppose it took about 3.5 times as long, but I didn't notice :P
Edit: I realize that I made the implicit assumption in my solution that it doesn't make sense to have multiple jokers be interpreted as different values. i.e., The hand with the maximum value will have all Jokers interpreted as the same other card. I think that is true though. It worked out for me anyway.
Yea I was thinking there might be a simplification trick, but also figured "there can't be that many combinations right?" I suspect that was probably an intended optimisation.
