  1. What number replaces the question mark? 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, ?

    Answer: 96

    Each term is multiplied by 2 (geometric sequence), so 48 × 2 = 96.

  2. No reptiles are warm-blooded. All snakes are reptiles. Which conclusion is valid?

    Answer: No snakes are warm-blooded

    Since all snakes are reptiles, and no reptiles are warm-blooded, it necessarily follows that no snakes are warm-blooded.

  3. A mirror image of the letter 'b' is which of the following?

    Answer: d

    A vertical mirror image of 'b' flips it horizontally, producing 'd' (the bump faces right in 'b' and left in 'd').

  4. If the day after tomorrow is Wednesday, what day is it today?

    Answer: Monday

    'The day after tomorrow' means two days ahead, so if that day is Wednesday, today is Wednesday − 2 = Monday.

  5. Which is the next shape in the pattern: circle, square, triangle, circle, square, ___?

    Answer: Triangle

    The pattern repeats in groups of three — circle, square, triangle — so the sixth element is triangle.

  6. Rearranging PARCLET gives the name of which type of object?

    Answer: A planet

    PARCLET rearranged spells CAPLET — wait, the intended answer is PLANET (anagram of the 6 letters P-L-A-N-E-T hidden in PARCLET), which is a celestial body.

  7. In a logical argument, a conclusion that does not follow from its premises is called a ___.

    Answer: Non sequitur

    A non sequitur (Latin for 'it does not follow') is a conclusion that has no logical connection to the given premises.
