If X owned the cube, 6-4(2),5-3(2) gets off on double 4's and above, any other play gets off only on double 5's and 6's (or maybe only 6's). >QUIZ 2) > >X to play 5-1? > +-------------------------------------------------------------+ > |\------------------------+-----+----------------------------/| > || 13 14 15 16 17 18 | | 19 20 21 22 23 24 || || > || | | O O || || > || | | O || || > || | | || || > || | | || || > || | | || || > || | | || || > || | B | || || +--+ > || | A | ||--|| |64| > || | R | || || +--+ > || | | || || > || | | || || > || | | || || > || | | || || > || | | X X || || > || | | X X || || > || 12 11 10 09 08 07 | | 06 05 04 03 02 01 || || > |/------------------------+-----+----------------------------\| > +-------------------------------------------------------------+ Same problem with being doubled out. Otherwise, 6 off and 6-1,6-5 both get off on double 5's and 6's, any other play only gets off on double 6's. Seth sethb@fid.morgan.com
