Answer: Completing the Painted Porch Tile Pattern

Did you get it right?

Choose the tile whose two triangle colors continue every diagonal in the four-by-four porch pattern.

The Answer

The correct answer is: choice 2, the yellow-and-blue tile.

Here is why

  • The upper triangle colors repeat red, yellow, blue along each row and diagonal.
  • At the missing position, that progression requires yellow on the upper-right triangle.
  • The lower-left triangle follows the same shifted progression and requires blue.
  • Only choice 2 has the required yellow-and-blue arrangement.

Why people miss it

Several choices contain one correct color, but only one preserves both diagonal sequences at the same time.
