How?

Yes, if you push the circles down a bit, it forms a 7 by 7 matrix. But if pushing the circles into a square matrix is not allowed: how?

Edit: I get it now. It is about (efficient) packing not about counting. I also get the 4th panel now...

7 by 7 matrix isn’t the optimal packing. The square shown is slightly smaller than 7 by 7.

Thanks. I thought it was about counting. It all makes a lot more sense now. (And it also doesn't.)
