A little puzzle
« on: July 31, 2004, 07:34:20 PM »
I had an interview Friday afternoon and among the hoops I had to jump through was a series of four tests.

The first was supposed to evaluate your visual logic skills (I forget the correct term for that, sorry.) Take a look at this:



That's not actually from the test, I threw it together in Corel Draw tonight using the same puzzle form. It's probably a little easier than the real test (which had several different diagrams and the operations for each symbol changed each time.) The actual test was multiple choice, but I didn't look at the potential answers until I'd arrived at my own answer, so I figure you guys are smart enough to do without! :-D

(Plus I'm too lazy to come up with some answers.)

Pretty simple, really. But under pressure, not such a walk in the park. Anyway, if you've got that brain-itch, give it a go.

Yep, those are the operations as I conceived them. There might be other solutions too (Fluffy's seems slightly different? I haven't gone over it yet.) The intended answers:

1. MLK
2. Diamond -> Circle. The others are valid too. *cough* Deliberate mistake. ;-)
3. RSUT
4. Circle
5. Diamond -> Plus
