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

This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 has a bead at Row 3 too → red (=).

  1. Column 2 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 1 column back, at Column 1.
  2. Column 1 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 1 stopped exactly one row above this bead.

Small Road Mark #2

This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 has a bead at Row 3 too → red (=).

  1. Column 3 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 2 columns back, at Column 1.
  2. Column 1 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 1 stopped exactly one row above this bead.

Cockroach Pig Mark #2

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

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

Perfect Pair (6-Deck) (PFP6D) Combinatorial Breakdown & Jurisdiction Audit

[PFP6D-RULE] Gaming-lab specification PFP6D enumerates Perfect Pair (6-Deck) across 312 cards: In a 6-deck (312-card) shoe, Initial two cards match in both rank and suit (identical card). After the first card is placed in a 312-card shoe, 23 rank matches and 5 identical suited matches remain among 311 unseen cards.

[PFP6D-EDGE] Floor audit PFP6D tracks a 3.1896% hit rate against the 25:1 / 200:1 paytable, which grades a 17.072% house hold and 2.109u volatility across 6-deck Macau, Las Vegas, UK, and live-dealer studio tables (PFP6D). Because PFP6D models card ranks and totals dealt from the 6-deck shoe, scoreboard trends on Big Eye Boy, Small Road, and Cockroach Pig never alter PFP6D probabilities.
