In Response To: Gerard's paradox + position variant (scotty)

In cube: a correct double-take. Out cube: a correct double drop. In both cases, the key term added is "efficient", which means that in both cases the take/pass decision is close.

The last one covers cases where the take/pass decision is not close. The second diagram with the 2 checkers on the 2 is a big pass at the score, something like a 0.4 blunder to take, but still significant winning chances cubeless, and that was what I was referring to.
