Microstates 2

 This is my third possible overall pattern or macrostate to investigate.

Here are two further possible versions of it:


It can easily be seen that with particle 1 on Level 5, there will be 5 microstates possible, corresponding to 2, 3, 4, 5 and then 6 on Level 1. It retains a total of 6 quanta throughout. By putting 2, 3, 4, 5 and then 6 on Level 5 in turn, it gives a total of 30 possible microstates for this macrostate.
The same applies to this other macrostate:
