Note: This pattern requires a lot of color changes. Be sure to check the end of
each Rnd before continuing through the round to know when to change colors.
Be sure 
 to carry colors required for each round along with you before you need
to do a color change. For more detailed instructions on how to do this visit:

For color changes with color/color (ex: 1 sand/red), pull through the first with
