Answer: What Comes Next? #92

The answer is D: pink diamond.

The rule

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

When you run it, Python prints:

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