Note:

When a letter or number is repeated, the player will join his or herself to the other group.

For example, A1 is from the white group, so A and 1 will join the white group. But if B1 from the golden group is called, then 1 joins the golden group. The same is true if B4 from the white group is called. B will leave the golden group and join the white group. This will continue until every sequence is called. Each player may move up to seven times. At the end, the two groups should have been decided.

6. The white group will join a debate against the Catholic Church on "The Abolition of the Second Commandment." The golden group will judge.

7. The golden group will join a debate against the Protestant Church on "The Abolition of the Fourth Commandment." The white group will judge.

Each group will have ten minutes to draft and five minutes to present.
