Step-by-Step Mark Proofs (Rule 1 & Rule 2)
Big Eye Boy Mark #3

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

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

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 2, the one that just finished, with Column 1.

Small Road Mark #3

This bead is at Row 4. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, more than one row above → red (=).

  1. Column 3 goes down to Row 4, so use Rule 2: look 2 columns back, at Column 1.
  2. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, more than one row above → red (=).

Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 1 stopped exactly one row above this bead.

Cockroach Pig Mark #3

Column 5 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 3 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

  1. Column 6 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 5 with Column 2, 3 columns further back.
  2. Column 5 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 3 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

COMBINATORIAL DEPLETION · DEP325

How Removing Queen (Q) at 291 Cards Affects P0-5 vs B-Stand (DEP325)

Card-removal record [DEP325] inspects 125 remaining cards after 291 are burned or dealt; holding 8 Queen (Q) cards (6.40% vs 7.69%) perturbs the Player 0..5 fifth-card draw rate versus Banker 6..7 stand rate.

[DEP325-B] In [DEP325], 0-point Queen (Q) depletion nudges Player's third-card draw rate (-31 bps) and Banker's pat rate (34 bps), while B=2 vs P3=0 strictly draws a sixth card.
