  1. Study this grid row: 5 | 8 | 2 | 6 | 9 | 4 | 7. What number is in the 4th position?

    Answer: 6

    Counting left to right: 5(1), 8(2), 2(3), 6(4) — the 4th number is 6.

  2. Two strings are shown briefly: 'qR3mN9pL' and 'qR3mN9pI'. Are they identical?

    Answer: No — the last character differs

    The first string ends in 'L' while the second ends in 'I', so they differ in the last character.

  3. You remember: Tom is faster than Sue; Sue is faster than Mike; Mike is faster than Ann. Who is slowest?

    Answer: Ann

    The chain Tom > Sue > Mike > Ann places Ann at the slowest position.

  4. A sequence flashes: ♦ ♣ ♥ ♠ ♦ ♣ ♥ ___. What symbol comes next?

    Answer: ♠

    The pattern repeats every four symbols: ♦ ♣ ♥ ♠, so the next is ♠.

  5. A report lists revenues: $12,450 / $9,870 / $12,450 / $11,300 / $9,870. How many unique revenue figures appear?

    Answer: 3

    $12,450, $9,870, and $11,300 are the three distinct values.

  6. Hold these digits: 8, 1, 5, 3, 7. Now reverse them mentally. What is the middle digit of the reversed sequence?

    Answer: 3

    Reversed: 7, 3, 5, 1, 8 — the middle (3rd) digit is 5... wait: position 3 of 7,3,5,1,8 is 5.

  7. You monitor four dials simultaneously. Dials A, B, C start at 0 and increase by 3, 5, and 7 per second respectively. After 4 seconds, which dial shows the highest reading?

    Answer: Dial C

    After 4 seconds: A=12, B=20, C=28 — Dial C is highest.
