Figure Sequences
What this question type is
A visual pattern puzzle. You see a small shape moving across a 4×4 grid over several frames. A rule governs how it moves, turns, or changes colour. Your job is to work out the rule and pick the two frames that come next.
How to solve it
Track one attribute at a time — first position (which direction is the shape stepping each frame?), then rotation or colour if those are changing too. Watch for the shape "bouncing" off an edge: when it reaches the grid boundary, its direction on that axis flips. Continue the pattern two more steps to fill the two "?" frames.
Worked example
A blue corner-block starts near the top-right and steps down-and-left one cell each frame: (row 1, col 2) → (2, 1) → (3, 0). At the left edge the horizontal direction flips, so the next step goes down-and-right — but it's also at the bottom, so the vertical direction flips too, sending it up-and-right: (2, 1) → (1, 2) → (0, 3). Those last two are the answers.
Try it yourself
0 of 3 solvedFrame 5 — choose one
Frame 6 — choose one
Why
Stepping down-left hits the left edge at (3,0), so the horizontal direction flips to the right and the vertical flips upward. The shape returns up-right: (2,1) → (1,2) → (0,3).
Frame 5 — choose one
Frame 6 — choose one
Why
The chevron moves right and rotates +90° each frame. At the right edge (col 3) the horizontal direction flips, so it steps back left while rotation continues: (2,3)@270° → (2,2)@0° → (2,1)@90°.
Frame 5 — choose one
Frame 6 — choose one
Why
Moving down-right reaches the corner (3,3), where both directions flip. The shape retraces the diagonal upward: (3,3) → (2,2) → (1,1).
