Well now it’s alliterative...?

  • X[#]/[!#] = X LED or ind. is lit/unlit
  • X[T] = X is in top row
  • PCS[X]/[!X] = Previous calculated sequence contains/doesn’t contain X
  • Osm = Odd solved modules
  • Omc = Odd total module count
  • Osg = Odd stage
  • Osn6 = Odd last digit of SN
  • — = Otherwise
