Hint 2 of 2
The leftover cards are the ones not used in the tower.
Show solution
Approach: match the tower's pieces, then list the leftovers
  1. Count the exact pieces the tower uses (its squares, triangles and circles of each colour).
  2. Compare with Ana's full set and remove the ones the tower used.
  3. The pieces left over are two red triangles and a blue circle.
  4. That matches option C.
