rubric
Counters placed in correct fill order (top-left to top-right); cell 5 and bottom row empty.
expected
4 counters in top row, left to right, cells 1-4 filled
Hints
  1. Where do we start filling? (top-left)
  2. Top row has how many cells? (5) — so 4 is one less than a full top row.
Misconceptions to watch
  • Places counters in random cells.
  • Fills bottom row first.
