12345 and 21345 would both count as straights.

13456 and 31456 would count as small straights

11234 and 34566 would count as small straights (because it gives more 
points than 2 pair)

As far as your second question goes, you need to use static methods.  So 
rather than calling it as a string method you will do something like

String roll = Dice.roll();
handMethod(roll)
