White on roll


This is the position posted by Stick. I have altered the side on roll (and you are not told what the roll is).

For the Mystery of the Big Stack, here are your two clues:

...(1) Both sides play (the checkers and cube) PERFECTLY, according to XGR++ evaluation.
...(2) Upon completion of his fifth turn (the end of the ten-roll sequence), Blue's 15 checkers are all STACKED on the same point.

What is a workable sequence?

...(3) (extra credit): Also, White has a closed board. How is this possible?
...(4) (extra extra credit): Also, White's first four (of her five) rolls are identical. How is this possible?
