Answer: What Comes Next? #116

The answer is B: blue triangle.

The rule

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

When you run it, Python prints:

1 teal triangle
2 blue triangle
3 blue triangle
4 teal triangle
5 blue triangle
6 blue triangle
7 teal triangle
8 blue triangle
