Question 1

A shape sequence shows: square with 1 dot, square with 4 dots, square with 9 dots. The dots are arranged in a grid pattern. How many dots does the next shape have?

Accepted Answer

16

Answer

The dots follow perfect squares: 1², 2², 3², so the next shape has 4² = 16 dots.

Question 2

You view a 3D object from above and see a cross (+) shape. From the front you see a rectangle. From the side you also see a rectangle. Which object is it?

Accepted Answer

A plus-sign-shaped prism

Answer

A cross-shaped prism has a cross top-view and rectangular front and side views, matching all three described views.

Question 3

A grid of 5×5 squares has every other diagonal colored. Starting from the top-left corner, the 1st, 3rd, and 5th diagonals are shaded. How many shaded squares are there in total?

Accepted Answer

13

Answer

Diagonal 1 has 1 square, diagonal 3 has 3 squares, diagonal 5 has 5 squares, diagonal 7 has 3 squares, diagonal 9 has 1 square = 1+3+5+3+1 = 13 squares.

Question 4

An object is rotated 180° around a horizontal axis. A triangle pointing UP on the front face now points:

Accepted Answer

Down, on the back face

Answer

Rotating 180° around a horizontal axis flips the object front-to-back and inverts top-to-bottom, so the triangle moves to the back face pointing down.

Question 5

A pattern matrix has 3 rows and 3 columns. Each row contains a circle, square, and triangle in some order, and each column also contains all three shapes. The first row is circle-square-triangle; the second row is triangle-circle-square. What is the third row?

Accepted Answer

Square-triangle-circle

Answer

This is a Latin square: each shape appears once per row and column; the third row must contain the missing shapes in each column position.
