Two independent six-row paths

One stake covers two independent paths, A and B. Each path makes six fair left/right bounces; R adds +1 and L adds −1 to its signed position. Compare A and B after each shared row. A leads when its position is greater; B leads when its position is greater; equal positions are ties.

Remove tied rows from the leader sequence, then count changes from A to B or B to A. The first non-tied leader is not itself a change. Ties do not reset the last non-tied leader, and neither path is removed from future rows. The comparison positions depend on the earlier bounces.

Ties preserve the last leader

A=RLLRRL and B=LRRLLL give leaders A, tie, B, tie, A, A. Removing ties gives A,B,A,A and score 2. Two identical paths have ties in all six rows and score zero. A final tie does not erase earlier changes.

Among all 4,096 equally likely ordered path pairs, 3,368 score zero, 700 score one and 28 score two. Two is the maximum; a three-change example cannot occur in this six-row game.

Three powers with exact separate means

For score S and preselected power p, the gross multiplier is 0.96 × Sᵖ/Mₚ. Exact means are M₁=0.1845703125, M₂=0.1982421875 and M₃=0.2255859375. The exponent applies to the score, not to 0.96. Each mode has 96% expected gross return relative to its stake in this model.

This is not a win probability, skill reward or optimal-play condition. There are no mid-round choices changing the payout. Power changes payout amounts without changing the score distribution. Zero score returns zero; gross return includes the stake.

Local virtual balance and fractional carry

The initial balance is 1,000 free virtual coins without monetary value or prize entitlement. The settled balance and fractional payout carry are kept in local browser storage when available. A fraction is carried into later settlements rather than discarded on each payout.

Restore balance is available only while idle and below the minimum stake of 10. It sets the balance to 1,000, rather than adding 1,000, and preserves the fraction. It is a manual button, not an automatic reset or a refund for an interrupted round.

How do the two paths produce a score?

One stake covers two independent paths, A and B. Each path makes six fair left/right bounces; R adds +1 and L adds −1 to its signed position. Compare A and B after each shared row. A leads when its position is greater; B leads when its position is greater; equal positions are ties. Remove tied rows from the leader sequence, then count changes from A to B or B to A. The first non-tied leader is not itself a change. Ties do not reset the last non-tied leader, and neither path is removed from future rows. The comparison positions depend on the earlier bounces.

Do ties reset the previous leader?

A=RLLRRL and B=LRRLLL give leaders A, tie, B, tie, A, A. Removing ties gives A,B,A,A and score 2. Two identical paths have ties in all six rows and score zero. A final tie does not erase earlier changes. Among all 4,096 equally likely ordered path pairs, 3,368 score zero, 700 score one and 28 score two. Two is the maximum; a three-change example cannot occur in this six-row game.

Does 96% mean a win probability?

For score S and preselected power p, the gross multiplier is 0.96 × Sᵖ/Mₚ. Exact means are M₁=0.1845703125, M₂=0.1982421875 and M₃=0.2255859375. The exponent applies to the score, not to 0.96.
