Answer: What Comes Next? #75

The answer is B: pink circle.

The rule

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

When you run it, Python prints:

1 pink circle
2 pink circle
3 orange circle
4 pink circle
5 pink circle
6 orange circle
7 pink circle
8 pink circle
