Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The 9x9 opening has pink at r1c1-r2c1, purple across the upper-right field, brown at r2c2-r2c6, light-green at r3c2-r4c2, blue through the left-center, mauve at r6c6, green at r7c1, teal through the bottom-center, and yellow along the lower-right.
- Goal
- Place nine cows at r7c1, r1c2, r3c3, r6c6, r2c5, r5c4, r9c7, r8c9, and r4c8 in the verified accepted order.
- Opening
- The first decoded frame is blank: no seeded cow and no opening X. Accepted r7c1, r1c2, r3c3, r6c6, r2c5, and r5c4 begin white-X propagation; the source then shows red r8c7 before accepting r9c7, r8c9, and r4c8.
- Danger Zone
- Red r8c7 is the failed teal probe; the successful teal target is r9c7. The red mark costs one heart and must remain separate from propagated white X marks.
- Mechanics
- This is an unseeded 9x9 cow board with nine successful placements, one red error, two hearts remaining, and a final Good state; the source also shows intermediate Perfect feedback.
