Answer: What Comes Next? #87

The answer is B: yellow hexagon.

The rule

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

When you run it, Python prints:

1 yellow circle
2 yellow hexagon
3 yellow circle
4 yellow hexagon
5 yellow circle
6 yellow hexagon
7 yellow circle
8 yellow hexagon
