From step 1 to step 2, two top resistors are erased. From step 2 to step 3, the top left resistor is ignored. Why is this? Step 2 writes "resistors are in parallel with short circuit, therefore Rp=0." Is the short circuit Req? And if so, how are the three ignored resistors in parallel with Req and the others not?
