Haha, fair enough. I'm on my phone as well. I recognise these patterns (visual reasoning?) but there is no question to answer :confused:

First one B - 3 4-sided shapes and one circle. Either 2 diamonds and one square or two squares and one diamond.

Second one D - the amount of 4-sided and circle shapes per image doesn't matter (at least one each). Need one, and exactly one diamond per image.

Ah... UKCAT brings back memories

I just assumed you have to match the possible answers to the pattern or something

Second one: a and b both have 1 diamond shape as well...

A has no circles

B has more than one diamond

i got B for first one, 2nd baffled me.

Usually you can work them out by concentrating on one aspect of the pattern.

sorry I meant c. Don't worry, I also thought it was d, but I don't see a concrete reason why.

The patterns evolve fairly simply. Notice the circles grow outwards from the centre, as do the differently orientated squares. D is the only answer that evolves in the correct way, which is particularly notable by the middle circle becoming a big circle.
OK ill give a more coherant answer to the 2nd question and see if people agree.

Here are the rules.

1) Each shape will become one bigger starting from the middle. A tiny circle will become a medium circle, a tiny diamond a medium diamond, a medium square a big square and so on...
2) The filled shape becomes unfilled after it evolves from small to medium
3) A big diamond evolves into a small filled diamond. A big circle AND a big square both evolve into small filled circles.

These are the only rules. If you follow them all the pattern will continue perfectly..

I think anyway :s-smilie:
1-E, 2-D ?

What are the correct answers?

True, that's why I thought it could only be d. What I didn't understand was why a circle evolved into a square.
