The idea
Rule 1: the middle term must be distributed at least once. Rule 2: any term distributed in the conclusion must be distributed in its premise.
In practice
Two rules, both running on the video 076 chart. This is why you memorized it.
Where people slip
Rule 2 checks the conclusion's terms only. Premises may distribute freely.
