Complete the third pair.
The shapes keep or exchange their inner/outer roles. The dot moves by a fixed number of quarter-turns.
Example 1
Example 2
Your turn
Show how it works
Follow the inner and outer roles
In both examples, the inner shape becomes the outer shape, and the outer shape becomes the inner shape. Their sizes follow their new roles.
Track the dot separately
The dot moves 90° counterclockwise around the figure. Apply the same two changes to the unfinished pair.
Combine both changes
Outer shape: diamond; inner shape: hexagon; dot position: right.
→
Complete the third pair.
The circle and triangle keep or exchange positions, then move by a fixed number of eighth-turns. The center stays still.
Example 1
Example 2
Your turn
Show how it works
Exchange the two small figures
The circle takes the triangle’s position, and the triangle takes the circle’s position. The center shape stays still.
Move the exchanged positions
Both positions move 90° counterclockwise around the center. The triangle still points upward; only its position moves.
Apply that relation again
Center shape: diamond; circle position: lower right; triangle position: lower left.
→
Complete the third pair.
Each pair uses a left-right mirror and a 90° clockwise turn. Work out which action happens first.
Example 1
Example 2
Your turn
Show how it works
Keep both actions fixed
The actions are a left-right mirror in the page and a 90° clockwise turn. Compare their order in both completed pairs.
Mirror first, then turn
Reflect the whole figure left-to-right. Rotate that reflected figure 90° clockwise. Reversing those actions points the figure the other way.
→Apply the second action
Check both the circle and the triangle. The complete figure must match the same order used in both examples.

Shape analogies: reconstruct the original
Undo ordered turns, reflections and feature changes, then replay your reconstruction.

How this data is usedHelp
Compare the count, shape, fill and direction in the first pair. Apply the same changes to the starting picture in the second pair. Open Possible changes during a question to see the permitted rules. Features that do not change in the first pair must stay the same in the second pair.
Select one of four answers, then choose Check. You can change your selection before checking. Read the explanation and continue when ready. Keyboard: Tab to the answers and use the arrow keys to change your choice.
Solving time excludes setup, explanations and background tabs. The optional challenge gives you two minutes of solving time across six questions. When time runs out, unanswered questions count as incorrect. Timed and untimed results stay separate.
The browser loads a complete six-question round from the server when you start or restart. Completed rounds and timed-out challenges are saved when browser storage is available; ending early is not saved. Your individual answers are not uploaded.
