Hmm, good job finding these patch formations, pimplup. I'll try to use them if I go chaining tomorrow. So, if two patches appear in the same row, its likely that they will break the chain?
No, I said it would continue the chain and I am going to prove it now:
Key:
Yellow: Sparkly Patches
Red: Common Patches
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
4 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4
4 3 2 2
2 2 2 3 4
4 3 2 1 1
1 2 3 4
4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4
4 3 2 1 1 1 2 3 4
4 3 2 2 2 2 2 3 4
4 3 3 3
3 3 3 3 4
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
The patterns I am going to show you, including this one, I found while chaining snubbull (broke at 39 because it was on the edge, and I didn't notice). This one has 2 and 4 aligned and continued my chain.
This next one is basically the first one upside down. I saw this as well:
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
4 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4
4 3 2 2 2 2 2 3 4
4 3 2 1 1 1 2 3 4
4 3 2 1 0
1 2 3 4
4 3 2 1 1 1
2 3 4
4 3 2 2 2 2 2 3 4
4 3 3 3
3 3 3 3 4
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
The 4th rung patch continued my chain
and it is aligned with the 2 patch.
This one is aligned with 1 and 4:
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
4 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4
4 3 2 2 2 2 2 3 4
4 3 2 1 1 1 2 3 4
4 3 2
1 0 1 2 3
4
4 3 2 1 1 1 2 3 4
4 3 2 2 2 2
2 3 4
4 3
3 3 3 3 3 3 4
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
This one continued my chain as well.
Last but not least, the "Smile Pattern":
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
4 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4
4 3 2 2 2 2 2 3 4
4 3 2 1 1 1 2 3 4
4 3 2 1 0
1 2 3
4
4 3 2 1 1 1
2 3 4
4 3 2 2 2 2 2 3 4
4 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
This one is my favorite for some reason, and I had it posted before, without noticing that 1 and 4 aligned. Like I said before, the 4th rung patch continued the chain.
I have entered patterns similar to the examples many times and none have broken my chain. I have concluded that line patterns do not, and I repeat do
NOT break your chain.
