My logic is: The dark inner arrow is required for the large lighter outer arrow on the opposite site. A dot only appears when there is no inner dark arrow on the opposite side.

symmetry:
From left to right a ball appears and half of the triangles disappear, also the triangles that disappear are the triangle with the colour of the ball below the line and the opposite above the line. Frome top to bottom the same happens but mirrored. If we apply both rules, which we have to since the missing image is in the bottom left the only possible answer is that all triangles disappear and the balls on either side with opposite colors remain.

1. the triangles have no cases where they increase in quantity, only being removed (1 light and 1 dark triangle were removed in the 2nd, so the 4th should also have another pair removed; a pattern that repeats every even progression)
2. the circles have a pattern of being added (was added in the 2nd, so the 4th should repeat it as well)
if you rely solely on a pattern that has evidence, you would answer that.

i wonder if it's taken for granted that the pattern is read left-to-right in a 1-2-3-4 manner. anyone who doesn't follow that premise won't be able to answer it, though technically you could follow a diagonal order instead, the answers don't respect that kind of thinking. someone with an even wider capacity for pattern recognition might necessarily take longer due to seeing many more possibilities, even though their capacity would allow them to find patterns more normal people wouldn't. you might say someone more intelligent would understand that these tests come with their own rules and thus, consent to simply follow them at their level, but that still constitutes a vulgarizing of their own intellect, chipping it away to make it fit simpler forms. anything communicable in language is already the outcome of a generalization: a loss of particularities.

in the end, i can't say for certain if this really does contribute to a measure of intelligence. higher intelligences, at least ontologically, wouldn't be accessible to lower ones.

no. there is no progression that substantiates 5. even if you didn't follow a left-to-right reading for the order, it would still be 2. adjacent blocks have a diminutive relation. diagonal blocks have an inverse relation. the missing block is diagonal to the "first" block, so it should be the inverse. it should thus lose the triangles, and add the circles, in order to complete the inversion: to have what the other doesn't have, or to lose what the other does have. the 5th one retains the triangles so it fails to be an inversion

Nevermind, fren. I believe we are wrong. I also thought about it intuitively, and by that I mean, I thought about those neon lights which progressively light up to fill up their message and which at the end black out to start anew. I looked at it from left-to-right, and I thought that if I chose 4 then the cycle could repeat again. However, this method doesn't exclude 2 or 3 from being possible answers as well. Number 1 or 2 seem to embody the neon light analogy better; the former moreso than the latter. So if we look again, this time diagonally, we see that they (the diagonals) complete one another. Number 2 seems to be the one which will follow (create?) this pattern.

There is. Number 5 has the virtue of having all the shapes show up at once. One can imagine them as a family which wished to join up but which couldn't get the timing right. However, since number 5 is presumed to be correct by virtue of it being a possible permutation, then all the others are correct because they are possible permutations as well. Though again, it might be that the 'pattern' ended because it completed its 'task'. The task being finally having met up. Therefore, there is no pattern. Unless of course, you presuppose a 'question'.

There is actually a logical, sequential method by which five can be the next in the sequence and two is eliminated as an option. It requires thinking about images as a progression in three dimensions, and that's all the clue I'll give, so as not to help this scoffing doofus >>21654586

Imagine that the two dimensional objects are rotated or folded in three dimensional space. Regard the images from top left, to top right, to bottom left, to answer five. Rather than the dots being toggled on/off and triangles appearing/disappearing in response, the rotations reveal the dots. It can be achieved very smoothly, thus showing a weakness in the question. Answer 2 is the intended answer, but the achievability of 5 is an oversight.

If you focus on artistic composition I think that 4 balances the picture best and is the least ugly to insert. 2 ruins it and 5 is too busy.

>> No.21655143

>>21654974
I applaud the ingenuity, but I am afraid I don't believe it is as consistent as you seem to think. On the first rotation, BlueUp and BlackDown work in unison to reveal BlackCircle, right? Then on the second rotation, BlueUp and BlackDown reveal themselves and undo BlackCircle while BlackUp and BlueDown rotate to reveal BlueCircle. So if it be consistent, then when BlackUp and BlueDown reveal themselves it should affect BlueCircle; that is, BlueCircle should disappear. Unless for some reason you make it so it affects BlackCircle instead, I don't believe this is achieveable without further 'axioms' or 'expediences'.

The answer is 2 but it's a poorly designed question because the grid is 2x2 and so the information provided is scarce enough to leave room for interpretation. Typically these questions have a 3x3 grid and it's for good reason.

>> No.21656483

>>21654974
your rotational logic would work but it's disproven by needing a circle present in the initial progression. top right and bottom left correspond as rotations of each other. after rotating, the circle is in the same place but the color switches. top left which should correspond to ? when rotated would still have no circles if it follows your logic.

and if you rotate in the third dimension by flipping it, the circle would be on the other side.

There are logics that get three and five. There's weaker logics for four, but one, three, and five are all potentially logical answers depending on the logical system you're operating under. Two is the most common answer as it assumes the dot is cancelling shapes in the first panel and remaining shapes will cancel: in short, it assumes you are viewing this like a fraction problem. If you assume the circles aren't removing their cross the line small circle and aren't removing their same side of the line outer circle, then most the other answers open up. For example, if dots generate uncancellable shapes is an assumption of the logic system, then two is an impossible answer, and five is the only potential answer. You could also write a logic system where proximity plays a part on elements' effects on each other. Most people will assume the logic system works as a progression, with symmetry and the overall logic of basic mathematical functions, so the answer is two in those systems, but turn the dots into representatives of foxes, the outer triangles into chickens, and the inner triangles into rocks, and three is the only logical answer.
tl;dr-- any logic only works under the given logic system's operations and assumptions
