Description
The Soroban is the name of the modern Japanese abacus. Information on reading a Soroban can be found here.

The soroban essentially consists of 7xN slots that 5xN beads may occupy. The input to the function will be a graphical representation of the soroban where true signifies a slot filled with a bead whereas false signifies a vacant slot. You can assume that all inputs will be valid soroban configurations.
Example
input = [ 1 1 0 0 0
0 0 1 1 1
1 0 0 1 1
0 1 1 1 0
1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 0 1
1 1 1 1 1 ];
output = 10586

Unlike the picture, there are no decimals. The rightmost column is the unit column.
Hi, the abacus is Chinese invention, not japanese !!!
i never made any claim to who invented the abacus. i'm just clarifying that this problem pertains to the japanese soroban, which is specifically designed for base-10 arithmetic.
