The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Check the stated objective.

Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
