Question 1

A sequence: [square, no rotation] → [square, rotated 45° to look like a diamond] → [square, back to 0°] → [?]. What comes next?

Accepted Answer

Square rotated 45° (diamond orientation)

Answer

The square alternates between 0° and 45° rotation each step, so step 4 returns to 45°.

Question 2

A 3×3 grid of stars: Row 1 has 1, 2, 3 stars; Row 2 has 2, 3, 4 stars; Row 3 has 3, 4, [?] stars. How many stars fill the missing cell?

Accepted Answer

5

Answer

Each row increases by 1 per column and each column increases by 1 per row; position (3,3) = 3+2 = 5.

Question 3

A sequence shows shapes with internal lines: [circle, no lines] → [circle, 1 diameter line] → [circle, 2 diameter lines crossing] → [circle, 3 diameter lines at 60°] → [?]. What comes next?

Accepted Answer

Circle with 4 diameter lines at 45° each

Answer

Each step adds one diameter line evenly distributed; 4 lines divide the circle into 8 equal sectors.

Question 4

Figures: [solid black triangle pointing up] → [outline-only triangle pointing up] → [solid black triangle pointing down] → [outline-only triangle pointing down] → [?]. What comes next?

Accepted Answer

Solid black triangle pointing up

Answer

The pattern cycles through four states (solid-up, outline-up, solid-down, outline-down) and then repeats from the start.

A sequence of figures: each step, the figure is reflected horizontally then one element is added. Step 1: arrow pointing right with 1 feather. Step 2: arrow pointing left with 1 feather. Step 3: arrow pointing right with 2 feathers. Step 4: arrow pointing left with 2 feathers. [?]

Accepted Answer

Arrow pointing right with 3 feathers

Answer

The arrow alternates left/right while feathers increase by 1 every 2 steps; step 5 is right-facing with 3 feathers.
