The game called 5000 was described a few days ago.  I was a 
little confused by the description of the game. If 
the combinations must be from one roll, then why set aside any 
dice?  For example, if I roll 1-2-3-3-3-2-5, I would get 300 
points.  If I want to roll again and chance getting no points, 
wouldn't I want to roll all 6 dice to maximize the chances of 
getting three of a kind, or a 1 or a 5?
