Answer: What Comes Next? #69

The answer is A: teal circle.

The rule

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

When you run it, Python prints:

1 green heart
2 teal circle
3 green heart
4 teal circle
5 green heart
6 teal circle
7 green heart
8 teal circle
