A series of figures alternates between adding a horizontal line and adding a vertical line. Figure 1 has 1 horizontal line, figure 2 has 1 horizontal and 1 vertical line, figure 3 has 2 horizontal and 1 vertical line. How many total lines does figure 6 have?
Answer: 6
Following the alternating pattern: F4 has 2H+2V=4, F5 has 3H+2V=5, F6 has 3H+3V=6 total lines.
In a dot pattern, each frame adds dots forming a square border around the existing dots. Frame 1 has 1 dot, frame 2 has 9 dots, frame 3 has 25 dots. How many dots are in frame 4?
Answer: 49
The pattern follows odd-numbered square numbers: 1²=1, 3²=9, 5²=25, 7²=49.
A sequence of arrow patterns shows: →↑, →↑←, →↑←↓, →↑←↓→↑. What is the next pattern in the sequence?
Answer: →↑←↓→↑←
The pattern cycles through →↑←↓ repeatedly, adding one more arrow each step. The 5th pattern has 7 arrows: →↑←↓→↑←.
A pattern shows shapes with internal divisions: a circle divided into 2 parts, a triangle divided into 3 parts, a square divided into 4 parts. Following this pattern, how many parts would a hexagon be divided into?
Answer: 6
Each shape is divided into a number of parts equal to its number of sides: circle (considered 2 halves) = 2, triangle = 3, square = 4, so hexagon = 6.
In a figure series, each step applies two operations: the shape rotates 90° clockwise and one corner becomes rounded. If a square starts with all sharp corners and pointing up, after 2 steps, how many rounded corners does it have and which direction does it face?
Answer: 2 rounded corners, rotated 180°
After step 1: 90° rotation + 1 rounded corner. After step 2: another 90° (total 180°) + another rounded corner = 2 rounded corners, rotated 180° from original.
A pattern displays three figures in each row of a matrix. In each row, one feature changes progressively: size increases from small to large. In each column, another feature changes: shading goes from empty to half-filled to fully filled. What is in the middle cell (row 2, column 2)?
Answer: Medium, half-filled
Row 2 = medium size, column 2 = half-filled shading. The middle cell is medium and half-filled.
