He may ask you by adding Seg.1+Seg.2 or Seg.2+Seg.3 so we assume that this

two segments in 12” and accumulate the two values and compare it by (3/4).

Example:
- Any Two Segments are accepted in 12”.
- Seg2 or seg3 or seg4 is accepted, as separated, in 1”
- Seg1 is rejected in 1”
- S1+S2+S3+S4 is rejected in 12”
