philfort Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 haha... I just did it again and guessed randomly at each one. It gave me an 82. Awfully high for random answers. The choices are: Quote

I figured the shapes repesented digits, since there are 9 different ones. thought it might be a magic suqare, but I was too lazy to figure that out. Also stumped on the last question (blue shapes)... I guessed the answer that had the small square, but it didn't feel right... Quote
Dru Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 its a cross and the circle, the big debate is is it a full or empty circle, and the answer depends on what meaning you give the empty (shaded) square i actually cant remember which one i said now though!!! beer Quote
iain Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 on the last one I chose the option that was smaller than the other three, that did not represent a small shape superimposed on a larger one. Quote
Dru Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 but now, i say its the cross and white(empty) circle. maybe i'm wrong though, and that's why i didn't get 190 Quote

Look at the top shape in each square. Then look two boxes right and one up .. it's the same figure. If you get to the end of the row, start at the beginning again. If you get to the top of a row, go to the bottom. So the top shape inside the box in question we know is going to be a gray plus sign. Now for the bottom shape I'm not sure, but I guessed white circle. Anyone know about this? Quote

Dru Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 (edited) bottom one has to be a circle - rows have same bottom shape all the way down. top row has a dark and a white, and in the middle nothing mid row has two white ends and dark middle bottom row has two dark ends so should have white middle i used a different reason than that to figure out the plus sign though, but i cant remember it. also how does your two to the right and up one theory, explain the shaded box with no symbols? at least in a magic square it could be zero. i dont think its a magic square at all, just a pattern recognition.

philfort Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Hmm, I guessed the white circle with the cross... I guess I guessed "right"... I guess I don't deserve my 140 Quote
allthumbs Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Dru, how do you know you got that one right? I didn't notice any grading per answer. Are you just assuming you got that one right? Quote

I understand now why the bottom shape is a white circle (it is). Look diagonally accrossed the middle. Oval, square, circle of all the same shade. Now start at the upper right corner. Go diagonally down and to the right. The next box down would be the 1st square on the 2nd row (the white square). The next box (the box in question) should be a circle to maintain this pattern. Quote

Dru Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 like i said, i could be wrong... but you have to offer a better argument too. i wonder if it marks you at all on how fast you finish? Quote

philfort Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 I think the middle box in the top row is "hidden", otherwise, it would be too obvious... Quote
