  2. The series is a mirrored reproduction of odd numbers. The next due is 9. A, B and D qualify after the first round. B is disqualified because the mirrored image intersects original. D is disqualified because it has lot of corners (or original set is elegant). So answer is A.

  3. I guessed it was gonna be B because they were all boy scout symbols (B being a campfire), but then I went with A figuring it was going to be something about boobies.

  4. I agree with Ambuj, it's about reflection and the next diagram would be A. And the one after that would be 111 (using Arial type though not Times New Roman).
    Do you know this one... What comes next?
    1
    11
    21
    1211
    .........
    .........
    etc

  5. Yeah the answer is definitely A.. and I think Mieke's sequence goes like this: 1, 11, 21, 1211, 1231, 131221, 132231, 232221, 134211...

    1(1); one 1(11); two 1s(21); one 2 and one 1(1211); one 2 and three 1s(1231)...

  6. Nice one, Rodrigo! That works, too! I have a slightly different approach though because my fourth series is 111221, fifth series is 312211 and so on.
    Your solution is neat though!
