we assume right-handedness

X.  start with 50 stalks in left palm (LH4 = 50)
	take away one, set aside (R0 = 1, LH4 = 49)
	operate with 49 from now on to get all six lines 
	(from line 1 at the bottom)

now draw the six lines
each line draw requires three casts, 
  getting remainder counts R1, R2, R3

A. get first of three counts
			(TT1 = 5 or 9)
			
0. the 49 stalks are in the left palm
			(LH4 = 49)
			
1. divide 49 at random into two piles
	1a. grab X stalks in the right hand
			(LH4 = 49 - X, RH = X)
	1b. put them on the table, second place in bottom row
		 	(RH = 0, TB2=X)
		 	
2.	take one from right heap, put in left hand
	between 3rd and 4th fingers
			(LH1 = 1, TB2=X-1)

3.	get left remainder
	3a. reduce left pile mod 4 until only 1, 2, 3, or 4 remain
		keeping discard stalks in right palm
			(LH4 = 1, 2, 3, or 4; RH = 49-X-LH4)
	3c. put down discard stalks from right palm
			to table, third place in bottom row
			(RH = 0, TB3 = 49 - X - LH2 = DL)
	3b. move left remainder from left palm
			to space btween 3rd and 2nd fingers
			(LH4=0; LH2= 1, 2, 3, or 4)

4. get right remainder
	4a. pickup right pile from TB2 and hold in left palm
			(TB2=0; LH4= X-1)
	4b. reduce right pile mod 4 
			(LH3 = 1, 2, 3, or 4; RH = X-1-LH3)
	4c. move right pile discards from right palm to
		TB3 along with left pile discards
			(RH=0; TB3 = DL + DR)
	4d. move right remainder from LH4 to LH3
			(LH4=0; LH3 = 1, 2, 3, or 4)
			
5.	collect the three parts from the left hand
	and put in the 2nd place in the top row of the table
			(LH1=LH2=LH3=0; TT1 = 5 or 9)
			
6. collect the discarded stalks from TB3 with left palm
		(LH4 = 40 or 44, TB3 = 0)

B. repeat step A with new pile of 40 or 44, get count (TT2 = 4, or 8)
	collect discards (new LH4 = 32, 26, or 40)

C. repeat step B, get count (TT3 = 4, or 8)

these three results determine one line 
	(SumRem = TT1 + TT2 + TT3 = 13, 17, 21, or 25)
	(SumDis = 49 - SumRem = 36, 32, 28, or 24)
	(SumDis/4 = 9, 8, 7, or 6)
	(consult the table to see which type of line)
then collect all stalks except the one from step X
	and return to step 1 to determine the second line
