Step-by-Step Mark Proofs (Rule 1 & Rule 2)
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

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

  1. Column 4 goes down to Row 2, so use Rule 2: look 2 columns 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.

Cockroach Pig Mark #3

Column 4 has 3 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

  1. Column 5 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 4 with Column 1, 3 columns further back.
  2. Column 4 has 3 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 4, the one that just finished, with Column 1.

COMBINATORIAL DEPLETION · DEP073

How Removing Queen (Q) at 104 Cards Affects B4 Draw 2-7 Gate (DEP073)

Card-removal record [DEP073] inspects 312 remaining cards after 104 are burned or dealt; holding 22 Queen (Q) cards (7.05% vs 7.69%) perturbs the Banker 4 active six-card draw window against 2..7.

[DEP073-B] In [DEP073], 0-point Queen (Q) depletion nudges Player's third-card draw rate (-39 bps) and Banker's pat rate (22 bps), while B=4 vs P3=2 strictly draws a sixth card.
