Bead Ribbon Ruler: Reach the Flag

Build a repeating bead ribbon that stretches along the ruler and lands its last bead EXACTLY on the flag. Choose how many beads in one pattern, then how many times it repeats — can you reach the flag with no gap and no overshoot?

🎯 Land the ribbon's last bead right on the flag tick.

Beads in the core 3

Times it repeats 4

A repeating pattern has a little core — a few coloured beads in a fixed order — that tiles along the thread over and over. The ruler counts every bead. Can you set the core and the number of repeats so the last bead lands right on the flag?
