Calling Notes:

In the A2, you and your partner are in different subgroups for the square through. To find them, at the end of A1, look at your partner. Your phantom subgroup is to your own personal immediate right

The starting direction of the B1 is arbitrary, but I've declared in to be "down" to simplity the transcription.
