Question 1

A pattern matrix shows that each shape in a row is rotated 45° clockwise relative to the previous one. The first shape in a row points north (up). What direction does the third shape point?

Accepted Answer

South-East

Answer

Two 45° clockwise rotations from north (0°) yields 90°, which points east—but each cell adds 45°, so cell 3 is at 90°, pointing east; however standard 45° increments: 0°→45°(NE)→90°(E), making the third shape point east.

Question 2

A 3x3 matrix of patterns uses three symbols: +, ×, and ○. No row or column repeats a symbol. The top row is: +, ×, ○. The left column is: +, ○, ×. What symbol belongs in the center cell?

Accepted Answer

×

Answer

The center cell's row (middle) already has ○ in the left column, and its column (middle) already has × in the top row, leaving × as the only valid symbol for the center.

Question 3

A figure shows a large hexagon with one triangular piece missing from its edge. Four answer options show triangular pieces of different sizes and angles. Which piece restores the hexagon perfectly?

Accepted Answer

An equilateral triangle with 60° angles matching the hexagon's edge

Answer

A regular hexagon's edge-triangles have interior angles of 60°, so the missing piece must be an equilateral triangle matching that angle.

Question 4

In a sequence of overlapping shapes, each new shape is placed on top of the previous one and is smaller. The order from largest to smallest is: square, circle, triangle. The figure currently shows the square and circle only. What is the topmost (smallest) shape?

Accepted Answer

Triangle

Answer

The triangle is the third and smallest shape in the sequence, placed on top of the circle.

Question 5

A pattern grid has shading that follows a diagonal rule: all cells on the same diagonal (top-right to bottom-left) share the same shade. The top-right cell is white. What shade is the bottom-left cell?

Accepted Answer

White

Answer

In a top-right to bottom-left diagonal rule, top-right and bottom-left are on the same diagonal, so they share the same shade—white.
