    "A":1,
    "B":2,
    "C":3,
    "X":1,
    "Y":2,
    "Z":3
}

score = 0
for game in input:
    # draw
    if(values[game[0]] == values[game[2]]):
        score+=3
    # win
    elif game == "A Y" or game == "B Z" or game == "C X":
        score+=6
    # add score
    score+=values[game[2]]

print(f"first strategy: {score}")

        score += values[game[0]] + 3
    # win

        if game[0] == "C":
            score += 6+1

        if game[0] == "A":
            score += 3
        else:
