Step-by-Step Mark Proofs (Rule 1 & Rule 2)
Small Road Boundary Mark #10 [s2b234sr]

This bead is at Row 5. Column 3 stopped at Row 3, more than one row above → red (=).

  1. Column 5 goes down to Row 5, so use Rule 2: look 2 columns back, at Column 3.
  2. Column 3 stopped at Row 3, more than one row above → red (=).

Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 3 stopped exactly one row above this bead.
