Answer: What Comes Next? #198

The answer is B: teal square.

The rule

The pattern repeats every 3 things: teal heart, teal square, teal triangle. 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 heart", "teal square", "teal triangle"]
for position in range(8):
    print(position + 1, pattern[position % len(pattern)])

When you run it, Python prints:

1 teal heart
2 teal square
3 teal triangle
4 teal heart
5 teal square
6 teal triangle
7 teal heart
8 teal square
