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

Column 4 has 1 bead. Column 3 has 1 bead. Same depth → red (=).

  1. Column 5 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 4 with Column 3, 1 column further back.
  2. Column 4 has 1 bead. Column 3 has 1 bead. Same depth → red (=).

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

Small Road Mark #3

Column 5 has 1 bead. Column 3 has 1 bead. Same depth → red (=).

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

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

Cockroach Pig Mark #3

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

  1. Column 6 goes down to Row 2, so use Rule 2: look 3 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.

COMBINATORIAL PROOF · CELL B5T2

Cell B5T2 Analysis: Banker 5 (A+4) Facing Fifth-Card 2 (Value 2)

Under [B5T2], Banker holds two-card total 5 (A+4) while Player draws fifth-card 2 (point value 2) onto an initial 0–5 total. Across those six legal Player starts, [B5T2] produces three-card Player totals of P0+2->2, P1+2->3, P2+2->4, P3+2->5, P4+2->6, P5+2->7.

Because [B5T2] falls outside the draw window for Banker 5, the dealer stands pat on A+4 (5) at 5 cards: across the 60 (P0..P5 × unpulled 6th card 0..9) branches in [B5T2], standing yields 30 Banker wins, 20 Player wins, and 10 ties without wraparound risk.

FLOOR PROCEDURE & SIDE BETS · B5T2

How Cell B5T2 Governs Dragon 7, Panda 8, and Scoreboard Tracking

In 5-card cell [B5T2], Banker 5 (A+4) never takes a sixth card, so 3-card Banker Dragon 7 is impossible while Player reaches 3-card 8 (Panda 8) whenever P=6 draws 2 (2).

Once [B5T2] resolves (30B/20P/10T across 60 branches), the winning side logs to the Big Road on shoe BBBBPBPBPP.
