Confusion with Array Advance Game

The language indicates that slides 3 and 4 should have the same array: “The example above perfectly illustrates that the greedy approach doesn’t work. However, the array is not unwinnable. Have a look at the slides below”.

However, slide 3 has array [2, 4, 1, 1, 0, 2, 3] and slide 4 has array [1, 4, 1, 1, 0, 2, 3].

Is this saying that the non-greedy approach chooses to only advance 1 from index 0 instead of the maximum 2?

Hello Ben_Wahl, hope you are having a good day.
3 and 4 have different arrays. The non-greedy approach is employed after the algorithm has been explained in the slides afterward.
