0 Yoruichi-san Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Do you mean which of the shapes below comes next in the sequence above? or Which one above comes next in the sequence below? The question is on the white so it's referring to the shapes on the white. Which of those shapes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) Would it be the heptagon. My reasoning is that I counted up the sides, so the order is 3,7,5,6. Then I added them two at a time so 3+7, 7+5, 5+6, which comes out to be 10, 12, 11. So assuming Im right, the pattern is adding 2 then subtracting 1 or your just skipping around, and in either case it leads to the next number having to be 13. So 13 minus 6 is 7. So the next shape should be a heptagon, or a 7 sided polygon. Edited for clarity Edited February 12, 2009 by Gamefreaked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh I see wat you mean but if what Yoruichi says is true then the colors werent used, otherwise It makes most sense in this case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Yoruichi-san Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 The geen pentagon because the top point points in the sequential direction (left) which matches the blue. Very observant, but orientation of the shapes is not significant. Color on the other hand, is significant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 orange, following the visible light spectrum (and assuming the green was replaced with white?) She said that colors are important TOO, meaning that both colors AND numbers must be important... I don't think we'll get it without combining the two. It might be something to do with the colors' hex codes or RGB values. I've got: 3 - Purple - 128,0,128 7 - Blue - 0,0,255 5 - White - 255,255,255 6 - Yellow - 255,255,0 Not sure how they relate though <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Prof. Templeton Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 The Orange Octagan. The square and the octagon are the only two shapes not currently represented, but the octagon is the only color that can not be made from two of the colors already present or used to make any of the colors already present. The red can be combined with blue to make purple, the green could be made from the yellow and blue, the lighter blue can be made from blue and white, the lighter purple from purple and white, the orange would need the yellow but the red is left out.

0 Guest Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 It has to do something with colors of the months i believe. Maybe flowers, but if thats right i think the next one is the pink heptagon as it would be the next color (and it holds true to my guess earlier rofl)My Guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good use of color, but no...it actually has more steps than that...mixing colors are fun for children, but what would the woman in your life want? *hint, hint* It has to do something with colors of the months i believe.

0 Guest Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) Ahhh i see know i was off just a little. There the birthstones, not in exact order but still following a chornological order. The first is amethyst a purple crystal with usually hexagonal or triangular sides Next is sapphire with its blue hue which is normally in a tear drop heptoganol shape Then follows diamonds with its white or clear color and normal pentagon shape and finally comes topaz with its yellow coloring and its hexagonal shape. So presumably my answer is the red square, being the ruby, its red coloring, and its normally square shape in jewelery. Or depending on your preference on the different orders of birthstones it may be the greenish turquoise one Edited February 13, 2009 by Gamefreaked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 I was thinking it had something to do with flowers. Color/# of petals ratio. But since you have confirmed precious gems as the subject, it'll take a bit more research. There is no link between number of sides and number of month, at least not immediately noticeable. Perhaps there is an algorithm that connects them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Yoruichi-san Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Aw...don't tell me you gave up? You're so close...here's a hint... amethyst, sapphire, opal, topaz, ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Though I'm not sure if this has already been said but yellow is the only color on the color wheel not present in the sequence. If you account for the primary and secondary coloring. So yellow is my answer for that. According to shape, I say well I don't know, maybe a triangle.
