Answers, and the rule behind each one

  1. 1. D. Rule: the size changes. The shape becomes large. Everything else stays the same.
  2. 2. C. Rule: the size changes. The shape becomes large. Everything else stays the same.
  3. 3. E. Rule: the same number of shapes. Every one shows exactly 1 shape, whatever those shapes are.
  4. 4. A. Rule: the size changes. The shape becomes small. Everything else stays the same.
  5. 5. D. Rule: the same pattern, not the same shape or colour. Every one is outline. It does not matter what shape or colour it is — outline is the rule.
  6. 6. B. Rule: the size changes. The shape becomes large. Everything else stays the same.
  7. 7. B. Rule: the same number of shapes. Every one shows exactly 1 shape, whatever those shapes are.
  8. 8. 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.
  9. 9. C. Rule: unfold and mirror. The paper was folded twice, so every punch opens out into four holes — mirrored across one fold line, then across the other.
  10. 10. D. Rule: unfold and mirror. The paper was folded twice, so every punch opens out into four holes — mirrored across one fold line, then across the other.
