Try this again...

I count 23 shakes to hit or about 64%. Now, not every hit is a win, but I think hitting is a close enough proxy that the GWC is somewhere in the vicinity of 64%. I don't think ther are enough gammons afloat for blue to turn this into a pass, so the take seems fairly clear. As for the cube it depends on how many market losers are around.

So I think it boils down to whether white has a take after a hit. If white still has a take, then there aren't many market losers (a double hit would be of course). If a hit is a cash (ignoring the 62 joker) then there are enough market losers to justify the cube.

I'm pretty sure hit/dance is a cash, but I'm not so sure about hit/enter. Regardless, I think there's enough hit/dance sequences alone to justify shipping it.
