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 · DEP189

How Removing Three (3) at 291 Cards Affects B5 Draw 4-7 Gate (DEP189)

Composition analysis [DEP189] measures Three (3) scarcity at 291/416 cards: 8 left in 125 (6.40% vs 7.69%) changes arrival rates into the Banker 5 four-value draw threshold against 4..7.

[DEP189-B] Thinning Three (3) (3 pts) in [DEP189] produces a -17-bps Player draw delta and 26-bps Banker stand delta; nevertheless, Banker 5 facing 4 always draws a sixth card.
