A Puzzle for Diehards

With the board looking like this:

x x x x
x x x 4
1024 512 256 2
16384 8192 4096 2048

You are coming close to the journey and you think the board is set up perfectly for you to make in the second row/right column the first 64, then another 64 and when you merge it you have 128. Then, if you make 128 in the 2x4 space, which has an 84% chance of success, you complete the board and you have yourself a 32,768 tile.

Now, if the board looks like this, you would think this is a total disaster:

x x x x
4 x x x
2 1024 512 256
16384 8192 4096 2048

However, our analysis has shown that completing this board has the same chance of success as the above one. Our results were done over 1000 runs.
