Here are the solutions to the questions.

Question 6:
To achieve rotational symmetry of order 2, if a square is shaded, the square diagonally opposite to it through the center of the grid must also be shaded.
The original figure has 3 shaded squares. Let's assume the grid coordinates are (row,column)(row, column) from (1,1)(1,1) at the top-left to (4,4)(4,4) at the bottom-right.
The initially shaded squares are:

  • (1,1)(1,1)
  • (1,2)(1,2)
  • (2,1)(2,1)

To make the figure rotationally symmetric of order 2, we need to shade the corresponding squares after a 180∘180^\circ rotation.
