Answer: What Comes Next? #54

The answer is A: teal triangle.

The rule

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

When you run it, Python prints:

1 teal triangle
2 teal triangle
3 purple triangle
4 teal triangle
5 teal triangle
6 purple triangle
7 teal triangle
8 teal triangle
