Question 1

A sequence of concentric rings: [1 ring] → [2 rings] → [3 rings] → [2 rings] → [1 ring] → [?]. What comes next?

Accepted Answer

2 rings

Answer

The number of rings increases to 3 then decreases back to 1, creating a palindromic oscillation; after 1 the next step goes back up to 2.

Question 2

A 3×3 grid: Row 1: black circle, white circle, black circle; Row 2: white circle, black circle, white circle; Row 3: black circle, white circle, [?]. What fills the missing cell?

Accepted Answer

Black circle

Answer

The grid follows a checkerboard alternation of black and white, so the bottom-right cell (row 3 col 3) must be black.

Question 3

A sequence shows a square progressively divided: [whole square] → [square divided into 2 equal halves by vertical line] → [square divided into 4 equal parts by vertical and horizontal lines] → [?]. What comes next?

Accepted Answer

Square divided into 8 equal parts by three lines

Answer

Each step doubles the number of sections (1→2→4→8), achieved by adding another bisecting line.

Question 4

Figures show a dot moving inside a square: top-left → top-right → bottom-right → bottom-left → [?]. What comes next?

Accepted Answer

Top-left corner

Answer

The dot moves clockwise around the four corners of the square, returning to top-left after bottom-left.

Question 5

A sequence of shapes: [triangle] → [square] → [pentagon] → [hexagon] → [?]. What comes next?

Accepted Answer

Heptagon (7 sides)

Answer

Each shape gains one side per step (3→4→5→6→7), so next is a heptagon with 7 sides.
