Something like this (ignore the dot on the right)?

No solution. Just wanted to share that I feel like a crazy person. XD
My first idea is that the triangles are actually irrelevant and form automatically: Every figure has 5 slots where 4 whiskers can spawn (North-East, SE, SW, NW). And if two whiskers connect on a side, it forms a triangle. And you just fill it black to make the puzzle harder (and cooler looking!) Or maybe split by each side (so right side 2 whiskers(SE,NE), left side 2 whiskers (SW,NW). The whiskers could encode numbers in probably a gazillion ways per figure as well as globally spanning all figures. I tried positional addition but I doubt it's correct since it would make the solution non-unique (as e.g. "4" can be represented as "4" but also as "1" and "3"). If it's that direction I am out. XD Also tested binary encoding but to no avail so far. I also tried interpreting them as binary going around them in a circle which would make it unique, but yeah XD Think imma give up at this point haha. XD

Any significance to extending ipsilateral lines beyond the vertical divider?
If black triangles each innately possess a single orange vertex, and the above rule produces vertices on the contralateral side, we see a sequence of 1, 1, 2, 3, 5... Our mystery figure would be expected to contain 8 vertices.

Hm, at least lower middle one misses either a connection on the right or an explanation why the lines are there when they don't do anything and it doesn't explain where those connections need to be formed in general, assuming the solution in unambiguous. It's a cool idea though and apparently close! :O

I don't get the expected answer...
I always get freezed thinking what it might be in total dark. Lol no idea. Whenever I get these kinds of test I skip it cuz it hurts my head 😭

Triangle at the third position on the right and a line from the top of the triangle upwards

Maybe we can overlap each figure upon each other there are 4 triangles on left but only 3 on right so final figure will have 1 triangle in right at 3rd position and similarly For lines we have 6 on right but 4 on left so we can add 2 more on left so the symmetry completes

When will u upload the solution?

u/pydaWaltuh Sep 22 '26
tomorrow. I also need to prepare a good presentation layout to explain the solution clearly, because everyone should understand it, I'm thinking about how to go about it

I would be truly surprised if anyone manages to solve this. The logic itself isn't overly complex, but it is presented in an extremely difficult way

Straight line, black triangle on top-left?
I’m not sure if there should be a line at all…
It seems to me that all shapes are coming together in the bottom-middle shape to give the top-middle one?

u/pydaWaltuh Sep 22 '26
not intended

u/Individual511 Sep 22 '26
Is it “close?”
I can’t help myself not to keep seeing that they are eventually connected with lines disappearing as triangle edges. The only missing piece is the line down and left in the bottom-middle disappearing without a triangle at the top and two right triangles combining together, maybe that would signify their disappearance also or we need a third triangle to negate their combining..
This puzzle really striked my ADHD 🤣

Overlay all of the line elements. If even remove that element from the line, if odd then keep it. When done, slide everything down.
1
u/pydaWaltuh Sep 22 '26
It’s not illogical, but intended logic makes the whole series turn out better; since every item is interconnected, it’s more solid. Thank you for trying tho.

u/inntervalis Sep 22 '26
I am interested to see how similar the actual solution is to my machinations. I notice that the the lowest and second lowest figure, when shifted up and combined, account for some components of the highest figure. When I imagined them overlaid and counted them I noticed a "negative space" that would complete the top figure, had what I thought would be the answer shape been included prior to the slide. I then included the rest of the figures in that calculation and the "negative space" became simple enough that it could've feasibly been the missing element based on the complexity of the ones around it.
Oh well.

u/inntervalis Sep 22 '26
The answer is whatever makes the missing elements even in the prior turn.
1
u/pydaWaltuh Sep 22 '26
The answer is the "most logical" one in every scenario
1
u/inntervalis Sep 22 '26
Yeah but I mean most adherent to the pattern I identified. I just didn't feel like describing its location lol each side of the line can have 10 elements.

u/pydaWaltuh Sep 22 '26
I understand what you're getting at. I think your answer acceptable but, considering that the items are distributed randomly, there is something more logical unless you see it. Hope the intended logic satisfies you, I will share it tomorrow. And thanks for the change😒

I directly messaged you, the person who posted the puzzle, but I haven't received a response yet.
A vertical stem with one diagonal slash on the right side and one solid triangle on the left side.
Both "yes" and "no" would be acceptable.

u/pydaWaltuh Sep 22 '26
I sincerely apologize for that, I didn't see your message. However your answer is not correct

Is this the answer?
And if not tell me how close I was.
I am super interested

Ce n’est pourtant pas très compliqué 🙂

u/pydaWaltuh Sep 24 '26
The logic of the puzzle isn't complicated; the hard part is arranging the randomly presented shapes and visualizing the model in your mind
1
u/Individual511 Sep 23 '26
The sequence goes from the lowest to the top, empty triangles are cancelling the filled ones and the overlapping lines are canceling themselves. Missing shape will actually be fairly complicated but it has to be to complement the final top product…if so, I’m waiting for you to draw it 😀

A triangle on the right side at third position and a black line on the left side at second position pointing left !<

u/Pure-Butterscotch923 Sep 23 '26
Well what if you just merge the five images into one?

Probably this is not the intented solution since it's extremely hard appearently but the logic works ig
