A sequence of shapes follows this rule: circle, square, triangle, circle, square, ___. What comes next?
Answer: Triangle
The pattern repeats every three shapes (circle, square, triangle), so the sixth position is triangle.
Each row contains shapes that increase by one side: triangle (3), square (4), pentagon (5). What shape belongs in the next row?
Answer: Hexagon
Each successive shape gains one side, so after pentagon (5) comes hexagon (6).
In a 3×3 grid, the top row has 1, 2, 3 dots; the middle row has 4, 5, 6 dots; the bottom-left cell has 7 dots. What number belongs in the bottom-middle cell?
Answer: 8
The dots increase sequentially left-to-right, top-to-bottom, so the bottom-middle cell contains 8.
A pattern alternates between shaded and unshaded circles in groups of two: ●●○○●●○○. What are the next two symbols?
Answer: ○○
The pattern is two shaded followed by two unshaded, so after ●● the next pair is ○○.
Shapes rotate 90° clockwise each step: arrow pointing up → right → down → ___. What is the next direction?
Answer: Left
Rotating 90° clockwise four times completes a full cycle, so after down the arrow points left.
In a matrix, the number of sides of each shape increases by 1 across each row (3, 4, 5) and by 2 down each column (3, 5, 7). What shape is in the bottom-right cell if the top-left is a triangle?
Answer: Nonagon (9 sides)
Starting at 3, moving right by 1 and down by 2: bottom-right = 3 + 2(columns) + 2×2(rows) = 9 sides.
