rubric
Pattern is ABB (one A, two B's) with at least 3 full repetitions; coherent across all 9+ elements.
Hints
  1. Pick your A color and your B color first.
  2. ABB means one A, then TWO B's. Repeat.
Misconceptions to watch
  • Creates AB instead of ABB.
  • Pattern breaks down after the first unit (random thereafter).
