Guest_Jim_* Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 The circles answer is arithmatical, too. And it's technically the exact same process: Find the true value of each digit. This problem is by nature arithmatical in itself: It just tests for pattern detection, which is something that can't be taught but must instead be naturally possessed. Check it against your own (by checking the final actual values you posted.) I just made the comment about using arithmetic in response to Nyt's comment. Really the question is algebraic, which is based on values and representation, as opposed to arithmetic which deals just with operations and calculations. The question could be repeated with letters and work the same, or any other set of symbols. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pointing out that even though the answer is based on "circles", it's still a numbers problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest_Jim_* Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 Everything is a numbers problem! I've got a BS in math. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop245 Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 I may not be alone but I don't get it even knowing the answer i still don't get it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coors Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 I may not be alone but I don't get it even knowing the answer i still don't get it It's just adding up the "loops" on the numbers themselves. 0 = 1 1 = 0 2 = 0 3 = 0 4 = 0 5 = 0 6 = 1 7 = 0 8 = 2 9 = 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onion Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 aka didn't figure it out Didn't figure it out because I thought it was an actual math problem, not some counting circles logic crap.

If I wanted logic problems, I'd retake the SAT. What did you expect? Clearly it's not a math problem if preschool kids can do it.
