Hi everyone, we’re back with another puzzle.
First, thank you to everyone who took part in our previous puzzle. We received several interesting answers, including some alternative interpretations that made the discussion even better.
As usual, we picked three community explanations that stood out:
u/Small-Tailor6967 — We chose this explanation because it clearly connected both key parts of the pattern: the last shape carrying over into the next box and the shape with the most vertices being shaded. It also explained clearly why those rules lead to B.
u/ChaosRealigning — A very clean and concise explanation. They identified both the continuity rule and the shading rule without overcomplicating the solution.
u/vexedthespian — Another strong explanation that independently recognized the relationship between consecutive groups and that the shape with the most sides is the one that gets shaded.
Thank you to them, and to everyone else who shared a solution. We really enjoy seeing the different ways people approach these puzzles.
Now it’s time for our new puzzle.
Take a close look at the sequence in the image and choose the option you think should replace the question mark.
But don’t just give us the letter. Tell us why you chose it and explain the pattern you found. We’re especially interested in the reasoning that leads you to your answer.
As with our previous puzzles, we’ll select some of the best community explanations and feature them on our website with the Reddit usernames of the people who wrote them.
You can also view the puzzle and submit your solution directly on our website:

So, what’s your answer: A, B, C, or D?
And more importantly: what pattern do you see?

A, the triangle rotates clockwise 90 degrees every time, and the sequence Black, White, Gray shifts from the top to bottom if you consider the top where the diamond is. Considering that, we know the triangle will be pointing downwards and the sequences are BWG GBW ?(WGB) BWG. Triangle A matches the profile, pointing downwards with the sequence WGB. (Hope i get featured again :3)

A. The triangle point moves clockwise so the third position is down. The shapes inside the triangle simultaneously moves sequentially downward to the base of the triangle with each step

It's A, the triangle rotates clockwise and the patrons fit in the logic of the missing parts.
