Answer: What Comes Next? #38

The answer is B: teal heart.

The rule

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

When you run it, Python prints:

1 pink triangle
2 teal heart
3 teal heart
4 pink triangle
5 teal heart
6 teal heart
7 pink triangle
8 teal heart
