- RIGHT ANGLES
CIRCLE = 3 - PRIME NUMBERS
TRIANGLE = 2 - POINTS SYSTEM
- SYMMETRY
TOTAL IN SET A= 7 - PARALLEL LINES
TOTAL IN SET B = 8
EXTRA TIPS:
DICE PATTERNS
- Add to even no
- Top die is greater
- If 4 present left= odd right= even
- Total no on die= 20 for example
CLOCK PATTERNS
- hour hand pointing to the right
Screen clipping taken: 25/06/2024 11:20 - Hands add to certain no
- 4 clocks present and hands point in all 4 quadrants
- Hour hand points at odd no
FOR SET A HOW TO DEDUCE POINTS SYSTEM
DASHED LINE AT THE TOP = SQUARE - One box has multiple of one shape
STRAIGHT LINE AT TOP = CIRCLE - Both sets have to same 3/4 shapes
- All the same colour
DASHED LINE AT BOTTOM = CIRCLE - Different combos of shapes
Screen clipping taken: 14/08/2024 13:52
STRAIGHT LINE AT BOTTOM = SQUARE - Start with box containing all the same shapes and see what it totals to
- This shape is almost always worth one point
LEFT SIDE ODD NO OF LINES = BLACK
RIGHT SIDE ODD NO OF LINES WHITE ALWAYS CHECK CORNERS
- If there are shapes in all 4 corners check order going clockwise
ALWAYS CHECK IF A SHAPE IS ALWAYS PRESENT
- Check its position
- Does its colour change when another shape present?
- Where is it in relation to this other shape
- e.g left right above below
NUMBERS USUALLY MEAN
- Odd/even WORKED EXAMPLE
- Enclosed areas
check
- Symmetry
- Number of straight/curved lines
1) Is there a striking difference between both sets on first glance
SET A
- No not really
WHITE TRIANGLES = BLACK CIRCLES - Both contain two shapes
SET B 2) Zoom in to set A
WHITE TRIANGLES = WHITE CIRCLES - Always a shape inside another
- This shape touches the outside shape twice
3) Is there a secondary pattern
- For this set there is no secondary pattern
- But could include things like the outisde shape being odd/even
- Shape insid eis odd/even
- Touches adjacent/ opposite corners
4) See if the inverse works for Set B
- We see the shape touches just once
- Top left box does not contain shape inside
Screen clipping taken: 29/08/2024 18:47
So the rules are:
Set A- shape touches the other shape twice
Set B- shape touches other shape just once
Only two shapes in the box
SET A
2 CURVED SHAPES
NO POINTS OF INTERSECTION= WHITE TRIANGLE
1 INTERSECTION= BLACK TRIANGLE
2 INTERSECTIONS= STRIPY
SET B-
STRAIGHT SHAPES
NO POINTS OF INTERSECTION= WHITE TRIANGLE
1 INTERSECTION= BLACK TRIANGLE
2 INTERSECTIONS= STRIPY
SET A: IF NO OF SHAPES INCREASES FROM LEFT TO RIGHT SOLID LINE
SET B: IF NO OF SIDES DECRESES LEFT TO RIGHT SOLID LINE
ENCLOSED SHAPES= HEART STAR FISH
LEAVES= PINE, SIMPLE LEAF, CLOVER
SPIRALS
SET A:
- ENCLOSED SHAPES ARE ADJACENT OR DIAGONALLY ADJACENT TO ANOTHER
ENCLOSED SHAPE
- LEAF SHAPES EITHER FULLY ADJACENT OR FULLY SEPARATE FROM ANOTHER
LEAF
SET B:
- STAR IN TOP LEFT
- SPIRALS ALWAYS ADJACENT
- PINE ALWAYS IN MIDDLE RIGHT
- LEAVES ADJACENT
SET A: EVEN NUMBER OF ENCLOSED WHITE AREAS INCLUDING THE FACE
SET B: ALWAYS 3 ENCLOSED WHITE AREAS INCLUDING THE FACE
