I'm totally guilty of this myself, on multiple occasions. Apparently my 'IQ' is somewhere between 106 and 170. Go figure.

    Sure, you could scroll down to find out the real answer, but you know you really want to try and work it out yourself….

    the answer is a) ;) ; rotating figures + Fibonacci ;)

    The real answer would be black rounded hollow square in the top left corner, red hollow circle in the top right corner, green hollow diamond in the bottom left, and a blue numeral in the bottom right corner. The number could be 8 if the sequence in Fibonacci, or 7 if the sequence is prime numbers. (My preference is the latter, since the beginning of the Fibonacci sequence is missing ).

    Given this, the correct answer is d)! :-)

    I did have an idea in mind which isn’t a, b or c, but I’m not sure if I’ve drawn it so there’s only one logical answer. A fantastic prize* awaits the first person to get my answer.

    Steve: you’re very close but not quite.

    *fantastic prize may just be a vague sense of satistaction of being the first.

    My thoughts were similar to Steve’s. One alternative, taking the view that only the bottom right is hollow and the rest are always solid:
    TL: black solid square
    TR: red solid circle
    BL: green solid diamond
    BR: blue hollow 8 (or 7 if it’s prime numbers)

    Damn you for making me waste 10 minutes on a faux IQ test ;)

    We have a winner! Bask in your new found fame! :)

    (I was thinking prime numbers, but I can see that Fibonacci also works)

    I saw it and assumed it was odd numbers, not Fibonacci or prime.

    so 2 is odd? ;)

    Glancing at this, I think a and c are each half right, and could be combined to make it correct. B is right out.
    Ah, and then I look at the comments and see that someone pieced together pretty much the same thing I did. Cool beans. :D

    It’s odds or primes, it doesn’t make sense not to start at the beginning of the Fibonacci sequence. So, either way the number will be 7.
    The hollow is always BR.
    Shapes rotate clockwise, colors counterclockwise.

    its none of them.
    it would be : top left- a black square
    top right- a red circle
    bottom left- green diamond
    bottom right- a blue 8 with the insides missing
    the numbers are fibbonacci and the colours rotate counter clockwise
    the shapes rotate clockwise
    the hollow inside is always bottom right

    D. :)

    Real answer is none of them. Green hollow diamond in the bottom left, blue 8 in the bottom right, red circle in the top right, which leaves a black square in the top left.

    Well, that’s what I think.

    My bad: the blue 8 in the bottom right should be hollow, not the green diamond in the bottom left :P

    If any, it’d be the one with a 9. Double minus one..

    It’s obviously a Fibonacci number sequence, so the only valid number in the answer would be 8, and hence the correct answer is a). Nevermind the other symbols, they just confuse me.

    Colors rotate counter-clockwise, and the shapes/number rotate clockwise :P

    I love how you put the correct answer last, so people might actually try to solve it first :P

    Top left: black square
    Top right: red circle
    Bottom left: green diamond
    Bottom right: blue hollow 8

    or it could be a prime-number sequence…

    IWANTTOSOLVETHIS is correct, although like Anonymous says could be primes instead of Fibonacci.

    Colors move counter-clockwise
    Shapes move clockwise
    Bottom right stays hollow
    Numbers are a sequence of primes (or Fibonacci sequence)

    it could be a fibonacci sequence, but it’s more likely to be the prime numbers in order (see how it starts at 2?)

    Blue hollow 7 in lower right, red circle in top right, green diamond in lower left, black square in top left. I agree that it’s primes. Good point, anonymous.
