After seeing the original picture of oddly-nested tetras early in the season, I duplicated it on our practice field and showed it to some of the students on our team. After much boggling, and a little measuring, we found that the bottom tetra could be stacked properly with all four vertices within six inches of the goal structure. The next one "up" could also have all its vertices within six inches of the first tetra, but it's obviously not stacked on top of it, so wouldn't count.

We never considered the issue of trying to overcap the odd pair, but it's pretty evident that the six inch criterion can't be met.
