Big Eye Boy (Lookback 1) Verified Mark #3

Column 3 has 2 beads. Column 2 has 1 bead. Different depth → blue (≠).

  1. Column 4 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 3 with Column 2, 1 column further back.

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 3, the one that just finished, with Column 2.

Small Road (Lookback 2) Verified Mark #3

This bead is at Row 2. Column 2 stopped at Row 1, one row above → blue (≠).
