This is the last segment of the four-roll "Mystery" series.

For the finale, I'm posting three positions (side by side by side, if your window is wide enough). They look similar, but you should treat them as THREE separate problems.

PROBLEM #1

		White is Player 2 score: 0 pip: 147 Unlimited Game Jacoby Beaver pip: 207 score: 0 Blue is Player 1
XGID=-a----D-B---eD---c-dbAB--B:0:0:1:00:0:0:3:0:10
Each side played twice

PROBLEM #2

		White is Player 2 score: 0 pip: 147 Unlimited Game Jacoby Beaver pip: 209 score: 0 Blue is Player 1
XGID=-a----D-B---eD---c-db-BA-B:0:0:1:00:0:0:3:0:10
Each side played twice

PROBLEM #3

		White is Player 2 score: 0 pip: 147 Unlimited Game Jacoby Beaver pip: 197 score: 0 Blue is Player 1
XGID=-a----E-C---eB---c-db-BA-B:0:0:1:00:0:0:3:0:10
Each side played twice

For each of the above three 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 more of the 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.
