Answer: What Comes Next? #84

The answer is B: orange diamond.

The rule

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

When you run it, Python prints:

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