Answer: What Comes Next? #12

The answer is C: teal square.

The rule

The pattern repeats every 2 things: yellow square, teal square. 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 = ["yellow square", "teal square"]
for position in range(8):
    print(position + 1, pattern[position % len(pattern)])

When you run it, Python prints:

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