 Solution

The tableau is the three-stage Lobatto IIIA method. For its stage matrix $A$, weights $b$, nodes $c$ and $C=\mathrm{diag}(c)$, the Butcher order conditions through order four arewhere $c^{\circ j}$ means coordinatewise powers. Direct substitution verifies all eight identities. Equivalently, this is a collocation Runge-Kutta method at the three Lobatto quadrature nodes, whose weights integrate cubic polynomials exactly.

Order five would require $b^T{c}^{\circ 4}=1/5$, but here $b^T{c}^{\circ 4}=5/24$. Therefore the method has exactly order four.
