Problem 1. PRaT says "double" and Mythbuster 3 says "take". D+T

Problem 2. At least we're not doubled (yet). Going to need to hit or prime and here's a chance to try for all three. 8/7*, 6/2*

Problem 3. 15% takepoint? Blue needs two good things while White only needs one, and White gets his first one 17/36 = 47% while Blue only get his (19/36)*11/36 ~16% of the time (on the first try). That looks like 25% for Blue if you go to infinity. (You might not want to play that long, though.) Then whoever is on roll is 59% for the next good thing (White's entry vs. Blue's escape). Blue can close but Blue can also crunch. Doesn't look like enough to me. D+P

Problem 4. If 24/22 isn't the deuce I've got no shot on this one. The board can wait. 24/22, 16/13

Problem 5. The 4-point is pretty big here, but so is the first escaped White checker. Only nine in the zone and not so well diversified. Big D, little t
