Answer: What Comes Next? #8

The answer is C: red circle.

The rule

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

When you run it, Python prints:

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