Watch the ladder climb toward $10K

A paper ladder: each lane climbs $100 → $10K in 5 steps, and a step advances only when every leg wins.

A historical record, not a strategy shown to work — two ladders have completed, on ten winning legs, far too small a sample to conclude anything repeats.

How the ladder works

each lane independent · a lost step stops that lane · a win rolls the paper return into the next step · most lanes stop before the top, and every stop is published
