Answer: What Comes Next? #105

The answer is C: teal star.

The rule

The pattern repeats every 2 things: teal square, teal star. Then it starts again from the beginning.

The pattern as Python code

Here is a tiny Python program that follows the same rule. Type it into IDLE and run it to print the whole pattern, including the answer.

pattern = ["teal square", "teal star"]
for position in range(8):
    print(position + 1, pattern[position % len(pattern)])

When you run it, Python prints:

1 teal square
2 teal star
3 teal square
4 teal star
5 teal square
6 teal star
7 teal square
8 teal star
