Historic Quiz problem 3

Blue wants to roll the prime which gives a lot of validity to 4/3*. After that 5/2* is the only sensible three.

Another candidate is 5/4/1 which gives White rope. But if Blue doesn't roll a six next turn the timing likely swings to White.

Finally, giving up the 9-point is a possibility. However, what does it hurt if Blue tries to keep the 6-prime now, with the option of giving up the 9-point next turn? Seems like a "heads I win; tails I push" situation.

4/3*, 5/2*. Thematic to keep the prime; thematic to knock opp back (and try to roll the prime). That's two very good reasons for this play.
