Answer: What Comes Next? #86

The answer is D: pink heart.

The rule

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

When you run it, Python prints:

1 pink heart
2 pink heart
3 pink diamond
4 pink heart
5 pink heart
6 pink diamond
7 pink heart
8 pink heart
