Answer: What Comes Next? #251

The answer is C: 6 dots.

The rule

Each picture has 1 more dot than the one before.

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.

dots = 1
for step in range(6):
    print(dots)
    dots = dots + 1

When you run it, Python prints:

1
2
3
4
5
6
