>>146851I think the answer might be A or C but I'm not sure.
Middle row circle bottom left is there, disappears then reappears as black.
In reverse, the black dot in the bottom left row is there, then disappears then might reappear as a circle.
So that points towards either A or C being the answer. Sure, in the first row, the black dot disappears too, but it reappears in a different spot, so I don't think it's B.
The dot in the middle is there, then disappears twice before going from appear-disappear in a repeating pattern if you go from left to right top down. If you go top down and then left to right, it's there twice before disappearing, then disappears twice before reappearing. So the last pattern would probably shake things up and have no dot there, but I'm really not sure about this.
The box has either a long V or long lines that align with the sides of the box. Given that the pattern for that from left to right is align-align-V then V-V-align It could be another V-V-align so that every row has two Vs and one aligning line or two aligning line and one V.
I think an argument can be made for A in that case too though, since the V patterns point clockwise from left to right and there's repetition there too.
What really confused me was the circle in the top right. There's no pattern in which a circle stays in one place three times in a row so I thought it'd have to disappear in the last pattern but it doesn't? But the only other box that has three circles and a box to its right is the one in the middle left box and that one has a circle at the top that stays there when you look at the box right next to it, so I guess that's part of the pattern.
So yeah, I think it's either A or C. If that was on a test, I'd just guess between the two.
Very weak and inconclusive evidence tells me to pick C but my gut feel says A, so in a real test with time pressure, I'd have picked A and moved on to the next pattern tbh. Depending on the test there might not be enough time to solve them all anyway...
So, which one was the answer, anon?
There's no way it'd be B, right? If it turned out that I was that wrong about it...
