Number Pattern Recognition in Invented Languages Flashcards

In a fictional language: 'fen' = 5, 'fen fen' = 10, 'fen fen fen' = 15. What does 'fen fen fen fen' most likely equal?

Answer: 20

Each 'fen' represents 5, so four repetitions add up to 20.

In Language X: 'kal' = 2, 'tor' = 4, 'kal kal' = 4, 'tor tor' = 8. What does 'kal tor' most likely equal?

Answer: 6

The combination 'kal tor' adds the two values: 2 + 4 = 6.

In a constructed language: 'one-unit' = 1, 'two-units' = 2, 'one-unit two-units' = 3. What does 'two-units two-units' most likely equal?

Answer: 4

'two-units two-units' adds 2 + 2 = 4, following the same additive pattern.

A fictional counting system uses: 'prim' = 1, 'sec' = 2, 'tert' = 3. 'Prim-prim' = 2, 'prim-sec' = 3. What does 'sec-sec' equal?

Answer: 4

The hyphenated form adds the two values: sec(2) + sec(2) = 4.

In Language Z: 'na' = 10, 'mi' = 5, 'lo' = 1. What does 'na mi lo' most likely equal?

Answer: 16

Each word contributes its value additively: 10 + 5 + 1 = 16.

In a fictional language: 'al' = 3, 'be' = 6, 'al-be' = 9. What does 'be-be' most likely equal?

Answer: 12

'be-be' combines two values of 6 for a total of 12.

In Language Q: 'sin' = 1, 'sinsin' = 2, 'sinsinsin' = 3. What does 'sinsinsinsin' most likely equal?

Answer: 4

Each repetition of 'sin' adds 1, so four repetitions equal 4.
