An outline of the lecture, scene by scene, with the statements that appear on screen. It follows the draft script, so details may change in production.
Set the exact two-hand promise
At the table- Compare hand 1 with hand 5

Execute both deals
At the table- P1 above P2 above P3 above P4 above P5
Reveal the designated comparison
At the table- H1: flush; H5: ordinary straight
Show the two-layer preparation
- Rank period 5; middle suit period 3
Prove the endpoint groups
- j − 5 ≥ 5
- 20 − j ≥ 5
- First 5: straight; last 5: spades
Prove the double-deal routing
- Practice tops → H1
- Practice bottoms → H5
Audit a sample and correction
- Corrected range: 10–15
- Straight arrives in hand 5
Play and retrieve

How these sources were used
- Prepared-packet double-deal mechanism retained, with explicitly corrected split range, destination hand and middle suit distribution. Broad source range and second-hand claim do not follow under stated ordinary face-down dealing.
