And to enable accurate replication of the issue, make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

231,275 PointsI'm still a bit confused about the process where you "copypaste the code in console".
The typical way to run a project in the workspace is to click on the "Preview Workspace" button in the upper right (the symbol looks like an eye). This opens a new window in your browser and displays your project in it. When I try your snapshot I see a window with 10 colored dots, which seems correct for the exercise.
