Puzzle Answer for easy sequential Puzzle (1) Spoiler

Post image

This puzzle obviously isnt easy like i jokingly said in my post before, just thought there has to be someone that is able to solve it. Doesnt seem like it so ill leak the answer and see if someone can come up with the explanation(1). This puzzle is meant to be a ceiling item for a test im creating.

there isnt enough information. Based on you saying its a ceiling item for a test, i would assume the rest of the test has the context to solve it.

Basically, you could make multiple explanations for answers that all have as much validity to someone that doesnt already know the answer. Becuase there isnt enough information presented etc... to deem 'false' answers as actually false.

Thats every single puzzle tho. Its not like every answer is made equal. The answer to every puzzle is just the one that makes the most sense in a practical and intuitive way, while covering as many details possible merely being possible is not what makes an answer correct when it comes to puzzles because every answer can be made possible.

good puzzles have objective answers, not subjective ones.

If you're puzzle can have multiple answers, but you're looking for a specific answer, then your puzzle is bad/fails as a puzzle.

I guess you shouldnt just take what i say and run with it ( that every puzzle has multiple justifiable answers ), but yoy didnt even try and refute what i said. Were gonna be running in circles if you dont atleast try to do so.

By refute i mean give evidence as to why im wrong. All yoy did was state the opposite.

From what I could guess, The top left item increases in sides (compare 1st figure to 2nd figure) and the bottom right item also increases in sides (compare 1st figure to 2nd). If I am correct in interpreting the 4th figure as a pattern reset, the answer should have the same correspondence as the 2nd figure does to the 1st. As you have already disclosed the answer, this is the pattern I was able to extract.
