Man, those are some [i]weird[/i] pattern tests!

Guess I've lost a couple points since high school. Hint: questions 26-29 are analogies, not sequential 1-2-3-4 patterns. I.e., 1 is to 2 as 3 is to 4. |

PS...
I missed 15, 18, 24, & 30. 15: I'm having problems with this; [b]does anybody see the pattern here?[/b] 18 & 30: I see where I messed up. 24: I kind of see, but I think having the triangles filled is a little misleading. |

Just because I couldn't read 26-33. The dividing line of the question and the answers was weird. Once I read the answers, I could see where I messed up. Damn it! |

Quoted: 15: I'm having problems with this; [b]does anybody see the pattern here?[/b] Ok, the symbols in the center are the same as the one opposite, and two of the three symbols have been used, so the one that's left (the black dot) has to be in the center. Which really means in the bottom right corner of the triangle. Now, also notice that no where do the same symbols touch each other in the same corner. So, the answer must be C. BTW, I got 162. Didn't get #8. For #24 I picked c (still haven't "gotten" this one). For #28 I picked c and e. -Troy |

Quoted: BTW, I got 162. Congrats! Didn't get #8. For #24 I picked c (still haven't "gotten" this one). For #28 I picked c and e. -Troy I had to think a long time about #28. I finally decided that somehow a & d were more similar to the given shapes than c & e, despite the fact that the triangle & square were in a different configuration. #8 was the first one that made me stop & think; I just happened to see 63=8x8-1 and 8=3x3-1. And 3968 looked in the ballpark of 63*63-1. #24 is really odd. I picked c, also, because the other ones made even less sense to me. I have a wild guess about this: it's a Fibonacci sequence in the number of lines necessary to draw each object (1, 1, 2, 3). If that's really the pattern, then the fact that the triangles are filled in makes it really confusing. What do you think? |

Hmm, would be interesting to take a more comprehensive test, that has word problems and such. This just tests your ability to recognise patterns (and a little bit of math in the beginning).

i'll try to explain #24, it's not a fibanocci number. the first graph of the problem shows 3 lines followed by 3 empty circles, if you notice there's nothing going through the lines. move to the next one, you see 3 lines with 3 little dashes going across, which tells me that the next graph should have something inside of it, and the only thing that has something going through it are the 3 triangles, you couldn't use answer A because it didn't follow the pattern.
hope this explains it |

I left a few blank with 8 minutes to spare. Hey, it's 11:30 pm, I'm at work, and my wife expects me home soon.... So sue me! [:)] |

I was thinking along those lines, but never quite "got there." #24 is really odd. I picked c, also, because the other ones made even less sense to me.

If that's really the pattern, then the fact that the triangles are filled in makes it really confusing. What do you think? Yeah, them being filled in was what was confusing me (which was the point, of course). -Troy |

I'm going to sue the webmaster because I scored a 26. I only scored so low because the test is too Eurocentric! [>(]

It still seems more like it belongs in the analogy section (26-33), though, because it's more like "line is to shape as crossed line is to filled shape" instead a sequence. The rest of 17-25 were all pretty clear sequences. Maybe I'm just a sore loser [;)]. |
