"""
421 or four-twenty-one is a French dice game.
Write a program to play that game.
The rules are as follow:
You roll three dices.
- If you get a 4 a 2 and a 1, the computer says 'Hooray, 421!'
- If you get three of a kind, the computer says 'great, I got triple x'
with x the number you rolled
- If you get two of a kind, the computer says 'not too bad, double x'
- Otherwise, the computer says 'Too bad!'
