Answer guide · AC9S1I04

  1. 3 blocks, 5 blocks, 7 blocks.
  2. Headings explain what each number or category represents.
  3. Accept grouping based consistently on the visible edge, with each leaf placed once.
  4. Two symbols for Monday, four for Tuesday, with a one-symbol-per-bird key.

If help is needed: Do not change a result to make a tidier pattern. Labels must show which observation each number describes.
