Step-by-Step Mark Proofs (Rule 1 & Rule 2)
HTC23 Big Eye Boy Entry #7

Column 5 has 1 bead. Column 4 has 3 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

  1. Column 6 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 5 with Column 4, 1 column further back.
  2. Column 5 has 1 bead. Column 4 has 3 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 5, the one that just finished, with Column 4.

HTC23 Small Road Entry #4

This bead is at Row 3. Column 2 stopped at Row 1, more than one row above → red (=).

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

HTC23 Cockroach Pig Entry #3

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

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

Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythThe 10+ Tie cluster in HTC23 interrupts column lookbacks and forces the next derived-road mark to turn Blue.
TruthTies in HTC23 attach as green slashes without modifying any logical column count, leaving derived-road lookbacks completely unchanged.
