It is Amy’s turn to put a cross on the grid. She wins if she puts a cross in B3 Write down all the other squares where she could put a cross to win the game.

Amy goes first in the next game.

Assume that she will choose a square at random. Write down the probability that she will put her first cross in square F6

In fact, Amy decides to put her first cross into a corner square. What does this mean about the probability that she will put her first cross in square F6?
