In a sequence of dominoes, each domino's right half equals the next domino's left half: [1|3][3|5][5|7][7|?]. What fills the blank?

Accepted Answer

9

Answer

The right halves are 3, 5, 7, 9 — increasing by 2 each time — so the blank is 9.

A grid has arrows: row 1 all point right, row 2 all point down, row 3 all point left. What direction do row 4 arrows point?

The directions cycle clockwise: right, down, left, up — so row 4 points up.
