Question 1
Identify the multi-dimensional rule (row AND column patterns):
Row 1, Col 1:
Row 1, Col 2:
Row 1, Col 3:
Row 2, Col 1:
Row 2, Col 2:
Row 2, Col 3: ?
What belongs in Row 2, Col 3?
MULTI-DIMENSIONAL PATTERN ANALYSIS:
DIMENSION 1 - Row Pattern Analysis:
Step 1: Analyze Row 1 (keeping row constant, varying column)
- Col 1: Triangle at 0°
- Col 2: Triangle at 90°
- Col 3: Triangle at 180°
Row Rule: Each column adds +90° rotation
DIMENSION 2 - Column Pattern Analysis:
Step 2: Analyze Column 1 (keeping column constant, varying row)
- Row 1: Triangle (3 sides)
- Row 2: Square (4 sides)
Column Rule: Each row adds +1 side to the polygon
RULE INTEGRATION:
For any cell[row, col]:
- Base shape determined by row (row rule)
- Rotation determined by column (column rule)
VERIFICATION:
Test on known cells:
- Cell[1,1]: Triangle + 0° ✓
- Cell[1,2]: Triangle + 90° ✓
- Cell[1,3]: Triangle + 180° ✓
- Cell[2,1]: Square + 0° ✓
- Cell[2,2]: Square + 90° ✓
APPLICATION TO MISSING CELL:
Cell[2,3] should have:
- Shape from Row 2: Square (4 sides)
- Rotation from Col 3: 180°
- Result: Square rotated 180°
MATRIX PATTERN PRINCIPLES:
- Rows often control one property
- Columns often control another property
- Cell value = f(row_property, col_property)
- Both rules apply independently
SYSTEMATIC APPROACH:
1. Identify row-wise pattern (vary column)
2. Identify column-wise pattern (vary row)
3. Verify both patterns independently
4. Combine both rules for prediction
5. Cross-verify using diagonal patterns if present
COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID:
- Analyzing only rows or only columns
- Not recognizing independent property control
- Mixing up row and column rules
- Failing to apply both rules to prediction
- Not verifying patterns across multiple rows/columns
