Five-prime Mystery

We are nearing the end of the four-roll "Mystery" series.

This time, I'm posting two positions (side by side, if your window is wide). They look similar, but you should treat them as TWO separate problems.

PROBLEM #1
White is Player 2

score: 0
pip: 135
Unlimited Game
Jacoby Beaver
pip: 144
score: 0

Blue is Player 1
XGID=-b----F-D---aD---cbcbb--A-:0:0:1:00:0:0:3:0:10

Each side played twice
(Blue has a sixth checker on his 6pt)


PROBLEM #2
White is Player 2

score: 0
pip: 135
Unlimited Game
Jacoby Beaver
pip: 146
score: 0

Blue is Player 1
XGID=-b----E-E---aD---cbcbb--A-:0:0:1:00:0:0:3:0:10

Each side played twice


For each of the above two problems:

From the standard opening position, each side (legally) moved twice. How is this possible?

If you believe you've found the solution to one or both problems, please submit it/them to me by e-mail (found by clicking on "View User Profiles" tab above). If you request a hint or have other questions or comments, please post in the normal way.
