Answer: What Comes Next? #62

The answer is C: green triangle.

The rule

The pattern repeats every 2 things: red triangle, green 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 = ["red triangle", "green triangle"]
for position in range(8):
    print(position + 1, pattern[position % len(pattern)])

When you run it, Python prints:

1 red triangle
2 green triangle
3 red triangle
4 green triangle
5 red triangle
6 green triangle
7 red triangle
8 green triangle
