In Response To: 8 problems from Chicago Chouette--test yourself (Phil Simborg)

#1 - Why in the name of Zeus' bedonkadonk is the cube in the middle? If we don't cube before this roll when are we ever doubling that it's not just gin city? I comment as I watch the video so now that I'm listening to the rest of the problem we can nullify the explanation too.

#3 - I honestly didn't think about whether it was a beaver or not because I knew immediately it wasn't a cube so didn't think about it.

#4 - It's easy to use the epc/stack and straggler formula for this problem. (Stack and Straggler (One!) formula: epc ~ p + 3.5 c (where c is the number of checkers on the board and p is the point the straggler is on)

#6 - Again I failed to think about the beaver because it's such a clear ND I just went on with life...

#7 - Cube position plays a big roll in the size of the error. If it was turned my Play B isn't too bad, 21(2) 2*(2)
