It looks I will remain the only one who's not sure in this quiz. Clearly he has to run one of the back checkers. Let's strike out 20/11. We are left with a)24/15 b)22/13. Pros of a)Connectivity, hits back from the bar, duplication of 3s Pros of b)Spare on the mid, abandons the 3 point anchor since opponent already made his 4 and is looking to make the 5. Cons:it leaves 3 blots around which is too risky with some rolls.

The main reason I will remain uncertain is because I have not yet completed my view on when we should abandon the 3pt anchor.
