31P-33B-43U-55

It's nice to see an example of the outer prime formation in real life. Blue has opened with 33B and rolled 55. He is just a couple of turns away.

From here, if he plays 55B (Both, 21/11(2)), say White anchors on her 20pt. Then Blue follows with 61P (Point, 13/7 8/7) and 22D (Down, 13/9(2). Voila! He has the aforementioned outer prime formation. (33 55 61 22 is one of the Blue roll sets listed under Problem 2, albeit in a random order.)
