Question 1

A sequence: [small circle on the left of a horizontal line] → [small circle in the middle of the line] → [small circle on the right of the line] → [small circle below the right end] → [?]. What comes next?

Accepted Answer

Small circle moving left below the line

Answer

The circle traces a path along and then below the line, continuing to move left along the bottom.

Question 2

In a 3×3 matrix, each row contains a circle, a square, and a triangle. Row 1: circle (top-left), square (top-center), triangle (top-right). Row 2: triangle (mid-left), circle (mid-center), square (mid-right). Row 3: square (bot-left), [?] (bot-center), circle (bot-right).

Accepted Answer

Triangle

Answer

Each row and column contains each shape exactly once (Latin square), so the missing cell must be the triangle.

Question 3

A sequence: [upright T-shape] → [T rotated 90° clockwise, looks like ⊢] → [T rotated 180°, upside-down T] → [T rotated 270°, looks like ⊣] → [?]. What comes next?

Accepted Answer

Upright T-shape (0°/360°)

Answer

The T rotates 90° clockwise each step, completing a full 360° rotation after 4 steps and returning to the start.

Question 4

A sequence of figures: each figure shows a rectangle divided into sections. Figure 1: 2 sections. Figure 2: 4 sections. Figure 3: 8 sections. Figure 4: [?]

Accepted Answer

16 sections

Answer

The number of sections doubles each step (2→4→8→16).

Question 5

A 3×3 grid where each cell contains dots: the number of dots follows the rule — each cell equals the sum of the cell above it and the cell to its left (with edge cells counting as 1). Top row: 1, 1, 1. Middle row: 1, 2, 3. Bottom row: 1, 3, [?].

Accepted Answer

6

Answer

Bottom-right = cell above (3) + cell to left (3) = 6.
