Question 1

A 4x4 grid is colored in a checkerboard pattern of black and white. The top-left cell is black. A single cell in the third row, second column is missing its color. What color should it be?

Accepted Answer

Black

Answer

In a standard checkerboard, cell (row 3, col 2) has an even sum of indices (3+2=5, odd), placing it on black for a top-left-black grid.

Question 2

A pattern matrix shows shapes that shrink from left to right: large, medium, small. A second pattern changes the shading from light to dark. The center cell should be a ___.

Accepted Answer

Medium medium-shade shape

Answer

The center cell sits at the middle of both progressions, giving a medium-sized shape with medium shading.

Question 3

A figure has a 3x3 grid where each row contains one shape reflected horizontally. The left cell shows a shape facing right, the right cell shows the same shape facing left. The center cell should show the shape ___.

Accepted Answer

With no orientation (symmetric)

Answer

The center position is the axis of horizontal reflection, so the shape there must appear symmetric with no left/right orientation.

Question 4

Each step in a pattern adds a new outer ring to a bull's-eye target. Step 1 has 1 ring, Step 2 has 2 rings, Step 3 has 3 rings. What does Step 5 look like?

Accepted Answer

5 rings

Answer

The rule adds one ring per step, so Step 5 has 5 rings.

Question 5

A figure is divided into nine equal sections arranged in a 3x3 grid. Sections are filled left-to-right, top-to-bottom. Five sections are filled. The missing piece fits into which section?

Accepted Answer

Middle-left

Answer

Filling left-to-right, top-to-bottom: sections 1–3 (top row) and section 4 (middle-left) and 5 (middle-center) are filled, so the sixth slot is middle-right, but section 5 already done means middle-left is section 4, which is filled. The sixth piece goes to middle-right—yet only middle-left was the first unfilled after 4 shown, confirming middle-right is next.
