Perin,

You counted correctly. Four rings came from the daylight visit and three from the blue-side visit; Amina noticed the mismatch on the contact sheet and kept it. In the revision I removed the three-ring hand because Elowen showed me that its loop repeated the current, but your count remains the reason I will not let Ilex describe the first sheet as symmetrical without correction.
