View source for Not Why


This pattern is very similar to why-not. And of the same general difficulty.  

== Patterns to do before this one ==

* same as for [[Why Not]]

No particular reson, but everyone showed my why-not first and I did the other patterns of the series much later. Maybe the weird start caused this. So:

* [[Why Not]]

== Not Why ==

{{Template:AnimateSiteswap|77286}}

Sequence:
A starts with 4 clubs and has straight passes, B starts with 2 clubs in their right hand and has crossing passes.

Both clubs of B are in the same hand, so that one hand is free for the zip. 

<pre>
A 2|2: P H P Z S 
B 0|2:  Z S P H P
</pre>

P=[[pass]]

Z=[[zip]]

H=[[heff]]

Another start that may be easier if you already know why-not is to start with the sequence of why-not and then switch on the part, where you throw "pass self pass" and throw "pass heff pass" instead. After that, you have only 2 clubs left and if you did other patterns with a zip-self, you will probably do the zip-self automatically at that point. 

A can even switch into that Sequence on throw 2 of the start, B has to wait until they reach the "P S P" sequence:

<pre>
A 2|2:  P H P S Z P H P S Z......
B 2|1:   H Z P H P S Z P H P .......
         ^--- beginning H Z is why-not, then B switches to not why
</pre>


== Other Things to Do ==

* You can also switch back and forth between Why-not, Not-why, Jim's 2-couunt etc. during the pattern.

* Wherever there's a  zip in your life, err pattern, it is worth trying to do it behind your back

== Compatible Patterns ==

4-club patterns - the combined pattern has 5 clubs: 

* [[Inverted Parsnip]] ([https://passist.org/siteswap/7726277822?jugglers=2  combined pattern and its start])

This one has [[zap]]s:

* [https://passist.org/siteswap/75224?jugglers=2 75224]  [https://passist.org/siteswap/4756277822?jugglers=2 combined pattern]

6-club patterns: 

Jim's 2-count  is also a good pattern for one side to juggle if why-not is new for both jugglers

* [[Jim's 2-count]] [https://passist.org/siteswap/7746677862?jugglers=2 combined pattern] 

Not Likely has double passes

* [[Not Likely]]
