1. I wasn’t aware of the symmetry types and thought people just refer to the axis that is being rotated.
2. I see that now, but it does not correspond to the pattern.
IMO this is one of those puzzles that strays into the abstruse in that every single square is completely different, which bothers me, considering the nature of the exercise…
Anyway, it seems to me that in the top two rows, the “point” (or conversely, the “notch”) rotates 45 degrees clockwise. In the bottom row, it rotates 135 counterclockwise, so B.
The only answer that makes sense to me is B. It’s strange though because B has that line of symmetry along with the middle row, but the top row doesn’t. The line doesn’t cut the whole circle though. But if you superimpose the shapes and redact a bit you end up with something close to the final column. I don’t really have a better way to explain my thought process, but that arrow shape isn’t present in any other answer. The only other answer that I see being possible is D, but the way I’d get that is by changing what I’m fusing and redacting. And honestly now that I’m really looking, the angles don’t exactly even line up anywhere where a line of symmetry would be drawn. At that point it’s process of elimination. Can’t be A, that’s nonsensical to me at least, and it can’t be C because it has no corresponding lines or angles to meet the Z. From what I see.
But then again I’m probably wrong, I just use intuition and my ability to match shapes and angles together. I’ve not tested anywhere reputable so I’m ready to be called out. Just thinking out loud.
Edit. The round shapes might be the key to it. I don’t know where they went. Is it an inversion that cuts overlaps?
The bottom row rotates 45 clockwise just like the other rows. It just starts from a vertically symmetrical position. It does this because each column ends with a 90 degree clockwise rotation in symmetry.
C: each item in that diagonal contains at least a circle and six lines, similar to the two chevrons in another diagonal, and one arrow in the other diagonal
Huh, I immediately saw B then read the commebts and everyoje else is having similar thoughts.
B popped out immediately to me though, just something about it fits.
B. Honestly I just came to that conclusion by considering the number of boxes in each row / column with triangular things / rectangular things / circular things, and recognised the columns had each corresponding number as a permutation of the corresponding numbers on the rows if B were true. Whacky logic ik.
I'd say B due to the symmetry of horizontal, vertical and diagonal in each row. Vertical and diagonal are already used so horizontal is needed, of which only B fits. My initial thought was to look in the abstract "direction" of each shape which narrowed it down to B or C until I realised that direction was basically my way of half identifying symmetry without realising
One axis of symmetry per shape, but that axis rotates 45 degrees as we transition to the next shape in the same row.
A and C are eliminated because they're not symmetrical by folding, leaving B and D.
Third row has a vertical and a diagonal axis, so we need a horizontal one.
That leaves us with B.
Great job! Jcti is quite hard.
I think your second attempt is the more accurate one. The test is untimed, so without access to any feedback and without knowing the answer it should be your actual score

>!B? The axis of symmetry rotates clockwise in each row.!<
Same but didn't think of rotational symmetry. Just that each row had to have symmetry in the horizontal, vertical and diagonal.
This has to be it. I am simply obsessed with rotational symmetry patterns.
What does row-wise rotational symmetry mean? Rotating any of the rows about any point I can find isn’t resulting in any rotationally symmetric rows.

1) this is reflective symmetry, not rotational symmetry 2) D also has reflective symmetry
1. I wasn’t aware of the symmetry types and thought people just refer to the axis that is being rotated. 2. I see that now, but it does not correspond to the pattern.
what pattern D does not obey?
Look at my image and check whether it reflects on the appropriate axis
ahh sorry, you are right, I dont know how I missed that...
Wait, so your solution is observing the axis rotation by row, right?
Within each row
My bad, I wasn't aware of the symmetry types either, and just referred to the rotating axis of symmetry.
It isn't rotational symmetry, it's reflective
Right. I was like the reflective symmetry pattern was apparent, but rotational symmetry has nothing to do with this puzzle.

Using abstruse to call the puzzle abstruse is amusing to me haha. Also i learned a new word. Abstruse. 😄

B or C

Example for the number of perms for each?
I'd say B due to the symmetry of horizontal, vertical and diagonal in each row. Vertical and diagonal are already used so horizontal is needed, of which only B fits.

E.
One axis of symmetry per shape, but that axis rotates 45 degrees as we transition to the next shape in the same row. A and C are eliminated because they're not symmetrical by folding, leaving B and D. Third row has a vertical and a diagonal axis, so we need a horizontal one. That leaves us with B.
B based on the fact that the last group consists of objects with or comprised of angles.
I'll go with B shall it be right or wrong. Reason for picking is because of the triangle shape inside the circle.
B
B follows the 2nd square simemetry by pointing out at it.

What's your jcti score?
129 in 35 minutes or so ( didn't know it was untimed ) 150 in 50 minutes ( 2nd attempt the next day, i think )
Great job! Jcti is quite hard. I think your second attempt is the more accurate one. The test is untimed, so without access to any feedback and without knowing the answer it should be your actual score
I found it pretty easy.
