Step-by-Step Solution

Perfect squares among 1, 1, 2, 4, 4, 4, 8, 8 are the two 1s and the three 4s, so 5 faces out of 8 and counts only the 4s and forgets that is a perfect square; wrongly counts 8 as a square; treats the four different values 1, 2, 4, 8 as the outcomes instead of the eight faces.
