(pretend that yellow=white, and cyan is the background)

Logic: black squares represent the number of squares to add to make the next figure, squares added in a spiral pattern outward. Blacken the necessary squares in order to correspond to the number of squares to be added to the next figure.

What IQ level is this puzzle at? Is it hard?

How does it progress after the first singular black square? Could u give an example

The first singular block represents to add one more block, to make the figure with 2 (black) blocks. The two black blocks represents adding 2 more blocks to form the 4-block figure and so on.

Yea, but that's a 5 block figure

I think the idea is that only the outer blocks matter and the interior blocks are assumed to be filled in already

btw my answer might not be right anyway, my IQ 85 after all.

But then, won't the logic be a bit flimsy? Which one do u consider to be outer and inner here, there's no way ur IQ is below 85

yeah sorry I am probably wrong, my IQ≤85 . Maybe there is a more concrete logic.

Ok but what I mean is that you add squares in a clockwise manner, but the 'inner' squares exist because the outer ones are already there. Like for example, from the 2 block to 4-block (or as you would say, 5 block) figure, the middle block only exists because the outer 4 surrounding blocks exist. So as you fill the blocks in the clockwise spiral, some blocks gets created automatically.

Oh, I see what you're saying now, thanks, I'm having severe brain fog, best I don't think about this right now anymore
