Step-by-Step Mark Proofs (Rule 1 & Rule 2)
HTC40 Big Eye Boy Entry #6

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

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

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 4, the one that just finished, with Column 3.

HTC40 Small Road Entry #6

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

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

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 5, the one that just finished, with Column 3.

HTC40 Cockroach Pig Entry #4

This bead is at Row 3. Column 2 has a bead at Row 3 too → red (=).

  1. Column 5 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 3 columns back, at Column 2.
  2. Column 2 has a bead at Row 3 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.

Across HTC40, Big Eye Boy prints 21 Red (36.2%) and 37 Blue marks, Small Road prints 22 Red (40.0%) and 33 Blue marks, and Cockroach Pig prints 35 Red (64.8%) and 19 Blue marks.

Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythThe 10+ Tie cluster in HTC40 interrupts column lookbacks and forces the next derived-road mark to turn Blue.
TruthTies in HTC40 attach as green slashes without modifying any logical column count, leaving derived-road lookbacks completely unchanged.
