Polaroid back problem

I am starting to get freaked out by my newly acquired polaroid back. I loaded a pack of FUJI FP-100B pulled out the first tab, made the exposure and pulled out the film. This frame was blank (black). Then I pulled out the next white tab (no 2) made the exposure and pulled out the frame. This picture was the one I made from the FIRST exposure!! Next time (3rd frame) exposure number 2 appeared! Also, frame number 3 and 4 are the same exposure and frame 6 and 7 are the same exposure! Meaning a have two frames featuring the same exposure even though I only made this ONCE with the camera.

Why was the first frame blank?
Why are the exposure 1 appear on frame 2 etc?
And how is it possible to have two frames with featuring the exact same exposure? I am confused.

Any help is much appreciated!
 
If you gave me a million I could not repeat the trick you have done.
Are you sure there was no David Copperfield around or Uri Geller?

Difficult to reconstruct what caused this from a distance.
Maybe load another pack of Fuji Instant Film and see what happens.

I can not think of a logical explöanation as to what happened with your first pack of Fuji film.

You stick the pack of new film in, close up the back, and pull the black paper out. Then stop, and make the first exposure. Then, pull the white tab, and then pull out the sheet for processing. For the second shot, make the exposure, pull the white tab, then pull the sheet for processing, etc.

Sounds like you pulled the white tab, then made the exposure, which was black. Easy to get out of sequence.

I'll take my Million -now- please :)
