• Not Why

Sequence:

This pattern has elements from both Why Not and Not Why. If you consider the start at the correct place, then the sequence is

pass, self, pass, heff, pass, zip, pass, heff, zip
|-------why not-------|            |----why not---|
           |----not why.....|

part of the sequence is pure Why Not "pass, self, pass, heff", but then it continues with an inserted pass, zip and ends with a "pass, heff, zip", which is again like Why Not. It also has the sub sequence "pass, heff, pass" which is also part of the Not Why sequence. So while a period 9 pattern is hard to remember, this can be divided in a large chunk of "Why Not" and only a few additional throws. In the sequence shown below, B has the advantage of having a start exactly like the 4-club:2-club start of Why Not, as well as the longest possible continues Why Not sequence right from start on (Heff, zip, Pass, Self, Pass, Heff… and only then the change occurs).

A starts with 4 clubs and has straight passes, B starts with 2 clubs and has crossing passes.

A 2|2: P H P z P H z P S
B 1|1:  H z P S P H P z P

P=pass

z=zip

H=heff
