We think that the answer is 10 counters.

We used squared paper to plot examples of how the counters could be placed and asked members of the group to check. We had to be careful to check for squares that were placed diagonally. We worked as a group and tested out as many variations as we could and compared these. We thought carefully about how we should begin placing the counters.
