It’s crucial to keep the mind sharp during the day, and what better method than engaging with a confounding brainteaser?
Such puzzles don’t just enhance memory; they also improve problem-solving abilities.
To challenge your intellect, TikTok channel Online Training 4 Everyone has offered up an ‘IQ test question’ designed to see how many people possess exceptional intelligence levels.
The task involves deducing the fourth card in a sequence, with options A, B, C, and D provided for guesses. The clip questions: “Which of the following comes next in the sequence? You are presented with a sequence of five squares and square number four is missing. You also have four different choices to answer this question. Do you think you know the answer?”
Users eagerly shared their hypotheses, with one proposing: “A? Because it introduces a new pattern?” While another declared: “A is the answer. All triangles are pointing to the corners in all squares.”
However, others believe the answer is B – with one saying: “B because the closest blue and green arrows point together.” Another user agreed: “Letter B, because the first two patterns are pointing on an opposite side and the last pattern is pointing both on the same side. So the answer is B.”
Before revealing the answer, the TikTok added: “Here are some tips for you to help solve this question. Consider that there are multiple patterns in this question. Tip: think of this not as a sequence but a symmetrical pattern. See if you can come up with the right answer for this tricky question.”
Sharing what he claims to be the correct answer, a final user said: “I choose B answer due to the fact that it matches with the sequence pattern. The middle square is the combination of the 2 first squares (plus the purple symbols). The squares on the edges are blue and the second square (on the opposite side) is green, so, the missing square must be green.
“About the two first squares: the geometric shapes inside are the same and they are in the same position in the square, just flipping horizontally. So, if you flip a copy of the last square horizontally and change its colour to green, you will get the answer B.”
