Level B Flashcards

A large square contains a smaller square that moves clockwise to each corner with each step. It starts in the upper-left. After 3 steps, which corner is the inner square in?

Answer: Lower-left

Clockwise: upper-left → upper-right → lower-right → lower-left after 3 steps.

Which piece correctly fills the upper-right corner of a divided square puzzle?

Answer: A piece with a straight left edge and straight bottom edge

A corner piece needs two flat/straight edges where it joins adjacent pieces — left and bottom in this case.

A triangle points up, then rotates 90° clockwise each step: up, right, down, left, up... In which direction does it point at step 9?

Answer: Up

The cycle repeats every 4 steps; 9 ÷ 4 = remainder 1, which corresponds to 'up'.

If you fold a square of paper in half from left to right and punch one hole near the top of the folded edge, how many holes appear when you unfold it?

Answer: 2

Folding creates two layers, so one punch passes through both layers, making 2 holes when unfolded.

A sequence shows figures with 1, 4, and 9 dots arranged in square grids. How many dots would be in the next figure?

Answer: 16

The counts are perfect squares (1², 2², 3²), so the next is 4² = 16.

In a 3×3 pattern grid, every row and column contains a star, circle, and triangle exactly once. Top row: star, circle, triangle. Middle row: circle, triangle, star. What is the bottom-left shape?

Answer: Triangle

The left column already has star (top) and circle (middle), so the only remaining shape is triangle.

A rectangle shows a diagonal line from upper-left to lower-right in step 1, and from upper-right to lower-left in step 2. What does step 3 show?

Answer: Diagonal from upper-left to lower-right

The diagonals alternate between the two orientations, so step 3 returns to upper-left to lower-right.
