No, I won't just explain it, that's not my style of teaching :-)
Instead, let me ask you questions: What is the real probability to
skip at least one of those two parity problems for the 4x4? Why is it
not 100% like I get for adding 50%+50%? What's the correct way to
compute it? Then apply this knowledge to your 4-step LL.
Cheers!
