`[[29 %,\quad\quad\quad\quad, 6 pt],[\quad\quad\quad\quad,11 % (12\quad g), \quad\quad\quad\quad],[5 %,\quad\quad\quad\quad,18 pt]]`
Tic-tac-toe, Long form:
`[[29 %,\quad\quad\quad\quad, 6 pt, => 12 g × (6 pt)/(6 pt+18 pt)=, 3 g],[\quad\quad\quad\quad,11 % (12\quad g), \quad\quad\quad\quad, \quad\quad\quad\quad, \quad\quad\quad\quad],[5 %,\quad\quad\quad\quad,18 pt,=> 12 g × (18 pt )/(6 pt+18 pt)= ,9 g]]`
