Can more than one of the three variables be equal to 3 at the same
time?

If no, why check the other two if you have found the one you looked
for in the first instance?

BTW, I would simplify the thing further and write instead of

>> SUBTRACT 1 FROM P
>> SUBTRACT 1 FROM Q
>> SUBTRACT 1 FROM R

SUBTRACT 1 FROM P, Q, R
