1

Start with UP. Grab any UP flat, read its number — the LOW partner is the number that makes five. 1&4, 2&3.

2

Never UP with UP, never LOW with LOW. Always one of each — that is what keeps the pack in range.

★

Empty pile? Call a Joker. If a LOW partner has run out, cut a Joker slab (860–880g) to that exact weight to fill it.

✓

Weigh the finished pack. Final check — outside 492–515g, swap one flat for a neighbour.
