I realized over lunch that i screwed this up. If Blue holds, he wins every time he hits a single checker, since he then turns the cube

ND:

.6. * 2 + .05*2 + .05*4 = 1.2 + .1 + .2 = 1.5 for blue

.4 * 2 = .8 for white

Net equity is .7 for ND

DT:

.55*4 + .05*8 = 2.2 + .4 = 2.6 for blue

.45*4 = 1.8 for white

net equity is .8

So, I get the same answer, but it's closer. D/T
