I meant it all along but perhaps it is hard to do it on the fly. Ther rules seem to be as follows: 1) Both outside (both positive), choose a smaller value 2) Both inside (both negative), choose a smaller value as in (-5 < -4) not by absolute value 3) one inside one outside, choose a smaller value as in (-3 < 2) not by absolute value I.e. always choose a smaller value combining two contours so it seems
