Answer: What Comes Next? #35

The answer is C: green star.

The rule

The pattern repeats every 3 things: pink star, green star, green star. 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 = ["pink star", "green star", "green star"]
for position in range(8):
    print(position + 1, pattern[position % len(pattern)])

When you run it, Python prints:

1 pink star
2 green star
3 green star
4 pink star
5 green star
6 green star
7 pink star
8 green star
