Remember: programmers (usually) count from zero! So in your example, the first map entry is actually pointing to the second map entry and so on. This would suggest that the entry for the first free group is pointing to that of the next free group... The directory entry for a file should give you the number of its first group. Since group_num * sectors_per_group = sector_number on disk the directory starts at sector $10 * 4 = $40. Have fun!
