Question 1

A 3×3 matrix has each column containing exactly one cross (×), one plus (+), and one circle (○). Column 1: ×, ○, +. Column 2: +, ×, ○. Column 3: ○, +, ?

Accepted Answer

×

Answer

Column 3 already has ○ and +, so the missing symbol must be ×.

Question 2

A figure splits into two identical halves along a vertical axis. If the left half shows a pattern of alternating black and white cells (starting black), what does the right half show?

Accepted Answer

Starting white, mirror of left

Answer

A vertical mirror reflection reverses the left-right arrangement, so the right half starts white and mirrors the left half.

Question 3

In a series, shapes gain one vertex per step: step 1 = triangle, step 2 = square, step 3 = pentagon. What shape appears at step 7?

Accepted Answer

Nonagon

Answer

Step 1 = 3 sides; each step adds 1, so step 7 = 3 + 6 = 9 sides = nonagon.

Question 4

A pattern of arrows points: Up, Right, Down, Left, Up, Right, Down, Left, … What direction does the 15th arrow point?

Accepted Answer

Down

Answer

The cycle repeats every 4: 15 mod 4 = 3, which corresponds to the 3rd position = Down.

Question 5

Two overlapping shapes share a region. The left shape has 8 dots, the right shape has 6 dots, and the overlap region has 3 dots. How many dots are in total across both shapes combined (without double counting)?

Accepted Answer

11

Answer

Total = 8 + 6 − 3 = 11 dots, using the inclusion-exclusion principle.
