Big Eye Boy Mark #3

This bead is at Row 2. Column 2 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=).

  1. Column 3 goes down to Row 2, so use Rule 2: look 1 column back, at Column 2.
  2. Column 2 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=).

Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 2 stopped exactly one row above this bead.

Small Road Mark #3

Column 4 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

  1. Column 5 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 4 with Column 2, 2 columns further back.
  2. Column 4 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 4, the one that just finished, with Column 2.

Cockroach Pig Mark #3

Column 6 has 1 bead. Column 3 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

  1. Column 7 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 6 with Column 3, 3 columns further back.
  2. Column 6 has 1 bead. Column 3 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 6, the one that just finished, with Column 3.

COMBINATORIAL DEPLETION · DEP128

How Removing Jack (J) at 341 Cards Affects B4 Draw 2-7 Gate (DEP128)

At penetration mark [DEP128] (341 dealt, 75 undealt), Jack (J) weight is 1/75 (1.33% vs 7.69%), adjusting fifth-card entry into the Banker 4 active six-card draw window against 2..7.

[DEP128-B] Under [DEP128], Jack (J) (0 pts) scarcity recalibrates Player draw entry (-17 bps) and Banker stand frequency (25 bps), while `bankerShouldDraw(4, 5)` draws a sixth card.
