Grateful for any hints as to why I'm not getting the inner loop to cycle the
expected number of times.
Code and one run's results below.
Thanks,

1 1 1 3 >> sp #1 should appear 3x, not 2x
2 1 2 3
3 2 1 5 >> sp #2 should appear 5x, not 3x
4 2 2 5
5 2 3 5
6 3 1 5 >> sp #3 should appear 5x, not 3x
7 3 2 5
8 3 3 5
9 4 1 4 >> sp #4 should appear 4x, not 3x
10 4 2 4
11 4 3 4
12 5 1 3 >> this actually works as expected, but not 2x as with sp #1
13 5 2 3
14 5 3 3
15 6 1 5 >> sp #6 should appear 5x, not 3x
16 6 2 5
17 6 3 5
