🧵 Complete the pattern
John Puzzle at Wed, 19 Feb 2025 08:44:20 UTC No. 16591194
I'm going to start a series of posts in which I show a pattern recognition puzzle starting from the easiest I have to the hardest. I plan on posting around 13 puzzles.
In each puzzle, 2 panels are missing.
You must select 2 of these panels—in the correct order—to complete the pattern. ( 46 is different from 64)
It is possible for the same panel to appear twice (e.g., “11,” “22,” etc.).
None of the puzzle require external resources. You do not need any special knowledge to solve these items. None of the patterns are cultural.
Lastly, you need to provide both the answer choice and the explanation. Feel free to use drawing tools to aid with your explanation. I encourage it so that it is clear to everyone what you are saying.

Why?
I will only validate a combo of answer + logic

(3, 1) and (3, 2) looks kinda similar to (1, 2) and (1 ,3) it's the same shape but inverted direction and color, and '6' is the (1, 1) inverted so if order doesn't matter it kind of made sense. Then I chose '5' because the pattern in the left and right of the third row is the same (assuming order doesn't matter) as the pattern in the second, so the one in the middle has to be the opposite color, and the only one with the opposite color is '5'. It didn't make any sense because I thought the one in the middle would be exactly like the (2, 2) but with the color inverted

It isn't correct.
The intended answer is way stricter and if you get to it you will have no doubts.
Thanks your attempt! Feel free to think more about it if you want

So it's not objective. Dog shit question

Are you familiar with the concept of induction?
No, you are just a cretin not understanding you cannot construct an inductive item and at the same time guaranteeing 1 solution in the absolute sense.
Obviously here there is a solution that is undoubtedly better than any other answer that could be given by you people or anyone else for that matter.
So yes, we can pretend there is an objectively right solution.

If you take the middle shape and split it into nine squares, and then tesselate each of the squares in the full picture with four of those little squares, you the image full image. So the answer is 4 and 2.

>guaranteeing 1 solution
Your language betrays your argument. When you say intended answer you imply multiple answers are possible. When there is only one solution, we merely say answer. "Intended answer" means ambiguity. You'd know this if you weren't a pseud. The personal attachment you have toward your flawed questions is pretty cute though. Let me guess, you surround yourself with other egoistic (not egotistic, egoistic) individuals who all fellate each other on how brilliant you all are, how dumb the masses is, and how you're all burnouts who society has failed. Lmao @ u

42 is my initial thought.
It's the combo for which both central symmetry and axial symmetry feel nicest. Also some rotation of the triangles inside the four subsquares that felt consistent. The center piece felt like a misdirection, but looking at it closer each of the 9 subsquares in it describe the position of the topleft subsquare in each of the nine pieces, and match the symmetry I noticed. So I'm confident in my answer. The combo of thea aesthetics of intuition and the proof-checking of rigor win again.

4,2 probably, not certain though. If you just completely ignore the middle square and look at how it mirrors stuff, right middle to left middle, right top to left bottom, it looks like the triangles kiss.

>>16591282
Fuck it Im going with 4,2. I dont fully comprehend what it does, but it just does the thing well. It also works for the last row, making it similar to the first row, combining the outer boxes and rotating them in the middle box.

I think the middle pattern is random noise that must be ignored and it has no counterpart. That means the patterns that actually matter, and that do have counterparts, are all going around the parameter. Every pattern that is going around the parameter has it's opposite counterpart that is always 3 squares away from each other going around the parameter which first begins at the top left going counterclockwise, then switches to 3 squares clockwise for the top middle square, and then rinse and repeat until all squares around the parameter have their matching counterparts. Their matching counters parts are flipped horizontally and their colors are inverted for every single one of them around the parameter.
So let me repeat again, every single pattern that is going around the parameter has a counterpart that is flipped horizontally and their colors are inverted, and their counterparts are 3 squares away from each other starting counter clockwise at the top left, then clockwise for the top middle square, and then rinse and repeating as you going around the parameter clockwise. The middle pattern is random noise that must be ignored and it has no counterpart.
So, following this line of thinking, I think the answers are exactly 6 and 3. With this, the parameter have their matching counterparts perfectly if i did the calculations correctly.

My answer for your puzzle is (6,3). My logic is posted above. Sorry if I didn't do (answer + logic) first... I hope my answer still counts, thank you

ye it's rotation of small triangles, corners of figure move 90 degrees. middles opposites rotate 180 degrees in respect to eachother

yeah I just ignored that and was able to figure it out without giving center piece any attention.
but it has been revealed in earlier comments that center image is basically the whole puzzle solved but crammed into middle shape

I see that the god damn triangles are oriented from their edges to the next pic but other than that I cannot fully say what is the pattern here.

you take one of the 4 squares (circled in picrel here: >>16591367) in each of the 8 main squares (which are around the center square), put them together you get center square shape.
