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

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

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

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

Small Road Mark #3

This bead is at Row 2. Column 3 stopped at Row 1, one row above → blue (≠).

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

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.

Cockroach Pig Mark #3

Column 5 has 2 beads. Column 2 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

  1. Column 6 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 5 with Column 2, 3 columns further back.
  2. Column 5 has 2 beads. Column 2 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 5, the one that just finished, with Column 2.

COMBINATORIAL DEPLETION · DEP059

How Removing Queen (Q) at 341 Cards Affects B3 vs P3=8 Shade (DEP059)

Card-removal record [DEP059] inspects 75 remaining cards after 341 are burned or dealt; holding 2 Queen (Q) cards (2.67% vs 7.69%) perturbs the Banker 3 standing exception on Player third-card 8.

[DEP059-B] In [DEP059], 0-point Queen (Q) depletion nudges Player's third-card draw rate (-42 bps) and Banker's pat rate (11 bps), while B=3 vs P3=8 strictly stands pat on five cards.

Why DEP059 Card Depletion Never Changes Tableau Law or Derived Road Meaning

[DEP059-C8] Auditioning [DEP059] at depth, Player opens 4 + 8 -> 2 while Banker opens 3 -> 3 across 5c (B in [DEP059]). Across [DEP059] 8-deck shoes, main-bet house edge stays near 1.06% (Banker) and 1.24% (Player), and logging B onto [DEP059] PPBBPBPPBP updates derived roads by Big Road column symmetry.
