Since we're creating solutions that use features in completely
unnecessary ways, here's a version that uses collections.Counter:
def how_many_times():
return next((count, rolls) for count, rolls in
enumerate(iter(roll, None)) if len(Counter(rolls)) == 1)
Do I get bonus points for it being a one-liner that doesn't fit in
eighty characters?
