Assertion: whenever a hand (crib) contains a 5 (or cards that sum to 5), that hand will be worth at least two points.
Scenario: the '5' is comprised of a 2 and a 3
- If any of the other 3 cards is a 2 or a 3 then the hand contains a pair (for 2 points)
- If any of the other 3 cards is a 10, J, Q, or K then the hand contains a '15' (for 2 points)
- If any of the other 3 cards is an Ace or a 4 then the hand contains a run of 3 (for 3 points)
From the remaining cards (5, 6, 7, 8, 9), can 3 cards be chosen such that no pair (of those cards) is present and such that the chosen cards do not create their own '15', and such that the cards do not combine with the 2 or 3 and the other card to create a '15' and such that those cards do not create a 3-card run?
| Cards | Example of Points |
|---|---|
| 5, 6, 7 | run |
| 5, 6, 8 | '15' from 2, 5, 8 |
| 5, 6, 9 | '15' from 6, 9 |
| 5, 7, 8 | '15' from 7, 8 |
| 5, 7, 9 | '15' from 3, 5, 7 |
| 5, 8, 9 | '15' from 2, 5, 8 |
| 6, 7, 8 | run |
| 6, 7, 9 | '15' from 6, 9 |
| 6, 8, 9 | '15' from 6, 9 |
| 7, 8, 9 | run |
Scenario: the '5' is comprised of an Ace and a 4
- If any of the other 3 cards is an Ace or a 4 then the hand contains a pair (for 2 points)
- If any of the other 3 cards is a 10, J, Q, or K then the hand contains a '15' (for 2 points)
From the remaining cards (2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9), can 3 cards be chosen such that no pair (of those cards) is present and such that the chosen cards do not create their own '15', and such that the cards do not combine with the Ace or 4 and the other card to create a '15' and such that those cards do not create a 3-card run?
| Cards | Example of Points |
|---|---|
| 2, 3, [any other card] | run |
| 3, 5, [any other card] | run |
| 5, 6, [any other card] | run |
| 6, 7, 8 | run |
| 6, 7, 9 | '15' from 6, 9 |
| 6, 8, 9 | '15' from 6, 9 |
| 7, 8, 9 | run |
Scenario: the '5' is comprised of a 5 and some other card
- If any of the other 4 cards is a 5 then the hand contains a pair (for 2 points)
- If any of the other 4 cards is a 10, J, Q, or K then the hand contains a '15' (for 2 points)
From the remaining cards (A, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9), can 4 cards be chosen such that the hand contains fewer than 2 points?
