Answers, and the rule behind each one

  1. 1. D. Rule: the pattern changes. The shape becomes outline. Everything else stays the same.
  2. 2. B. Rule: the same shape. Every one is a hexagon, whatever its size, colour or pattern.
  3. 3. C. Rule: unfold and mirror. The paper was folded once, so unfolding puts a matching hole on the other side of the fold line, the same distance from it.
  4. 4. A. Rule: the same shape. Every one is a star, whatever its size, colour or pattern.
  5. 5. B. Rule: the pattern changes. The shape becomes dotted. Everything else stays the same.
  6. 6. E. Rule: the same pattern, not the same shape or colour. Every one is dotted. It does not matter what shape or colour it is — dotted is the rule.
  7. 7. A. Rule: unfold and mirror. The paper was folded once, so unfolding puts a matching hole on the other side of the fold line, the same distance from it.
  8. 8. B. Rule: the size changes. The shape becomes small. Everything else stays the same.
  9. 9. C. Rule: the size changes. The shape becomes small. Everything else stays the same.
  10. 10. B. Rule: unfold and mirror. The paper was folded once, so unfolding puts a matching hole on the other side of the fold line, the same distance from it.
