Answer: What Comes Next? #180

The answer is B: teal heart.

The rule

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

When you run it, Python prints:

1 yellow square
2 teal heart
3 green circle
4 yellow square
5 teal heart
6 green circle
7 yellow square
8 teal heart
