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

  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 2, one row above → blue (≠).

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.

Cockroach Pig Mark #3

Column 4 has 3 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 3 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.

COMBINATORIAL PROOF · CELL B7T4

Cell B7T4 Analysis: Banker 7 (2+5) Facing Fifth-Card 4 (Value 4)

Under [B7T4], Banker holds two-card total 7 (2+5) while Player draws fifth-card 4 (point value 4) onto an initial 0–5 total. Across those six legal Player starts, [B7T4] produces three-card Player totals of P0+4->4, P1+4->5, P2+4->6, P3+4->7, P4+4->8, P5+4->9.

Because [B7T4] falls outside the draw window for Banker 7, the dealer stands pat on 2+5 (7) at 5 cards: across the 60 (P0..P5 × unpulled 6th card 0..9) branches in [B7T4], standing yields 30 Banker wins, 20 Player wins, and 10 ties without wraparound risk.

FLOOR PROCEDURE & SIDE BETS · B7T4

How Cell B7T4 Governs Dragon 7, Panda 8, and Scoreboard Tracking

Once [B7T4] resolves (30B/20P/10T across 60 branches), the winning side logs to the Big Road on shoe BBBBPPBPPP.
