Answer 1

We have the following points;

Jack - ( 1,2) , (1,3) , (1,4) , (2,3) , (3,4)

For Jill's coordinates, we have;

Jill - ( 1,5) , (2,4) , (3,3) , (4,3) , (4,4) , (5,3)

A point Jill can place a tile to win will be ( 6 , 3 ) ---- row

A point Jack can place a tile to win will be ( 1 , 1 ) ----- column
