This one may qualify.

You want to get hit quickly so the opponent does not get a chance to connect his blots. That argues for slotting the 6 point. However it opens up the 66 joker and once you have the prime in place you can very safely cast your blots and fish for getting hit.

This is a tricky position to play so the RO might not be reliable but slotting may just barely beat making the prime. However if the must move the larger number rule is void then it does not get hit with 36,46, and 56 which may be enough to swing the play
