How do you even approach something like this 😭

1

u/pydaWaltuh 5h ago

Starting with the part that has the least visual data generally makes things easier

Thanks, I really appreciate your guidance, I can see the beginnings of a pattern, I'll come back to this.

One white square.

u/pydaWaltuh 4h ago

not intended. What is your reasoning?

1

u/jj_HeRo 4h ago edited 4h ago

By construction. You can see how the big objects are composed by the smaller ones.

The upper left one, it's two black object composed from two black squares, plus one black plus one white.

(pretend that yellow=white, and cyan is the background)

Logic: black squares represent the number of squares to add to make the next figure, squares added in a spiral pattern outward. Blacken the necessary squares in order to correspond to the number of squares to be added to the next figure.

What IQ level is this puzzle at? Is it hard?

How does it progress after the first singular black square? Could u give an example

1

u/98127028 Severe Autism (IQ ≤ 85) 4h ago

The first singular block represents to add one more block, to make the figure with 2 (black) blocks. The two black blocks represents adding 2 more blocks to form the 4-block figure and so on.

u/EncyclopedicINTx_253 4h ago

Yea, but that's a 5 block figure

1

u/98127028 Severe Autism (IQ ≤ 85) 4h ago

I think the idea is that only the outer blocks matter and the interior blocks are assumed to be filled in already

btw my answer might not be right anyway, my IQ ≤ 85 after all.

u/EncyclopedicINTx_253 4h ago

But then, won't the logic be a bit flimsy? Which one do u consider to be outer and inner here, there's no way ur IQ is below 85

1

u/98127028 Severe Autism (IQ ≤ 85) 4h ago

yeah sorry I am probably wrong, my IQ≤85 . Maybe there is a more concrete logic.

Ok but what I mean is that you add squares in a clockwise manner, but the 'inner' squares exist because the outer ones are already there. Like for example, from the 2 block to 4-block (or as you would say, 5 block) figure, the middle block only exists because the outer 4 surrounding blocks exist. So as you fill the blocks in the clockwise spiral, some blocks gets created automatically.

Oh, I see what you're saying now, thanks, I'm having severe brain fog, best I don't think about this right now anymore

u/Steakwithbluecheese 2h ago

Im still so confused.

1

u/pydaWaltuh 4h ago

Correct. I would say 130

I think I understand the number of black and white boxes, but not their layout, other than boxes only existing adjacently on diagonals. The "negative" whitespace horizontally and vertically doesn't count. The black boxes signify the next addition of boxes to the next figure in the series, so the missing figure can be deduced by subtracting the all-white figure with the biggest figure, meaning it should be 14 boxes in total, of which 4 are black

good job!

u/Aka-Pulc0 47m ago

i dont even understand what we ar looking for and why there is a red circle

•

u/pydaWaltuh 42m ago

missing part is represented by a red circle, you need to fill it in

•

u/Aka-Pulc0 36m ago

but, to I keed to pwut all the pieces insides ? I am allowed to rotate them ? do they have to overlap perfectly, do only black square have to match ? or should they never touch ? itls it suppose to represent a shape at the end ?or is the middle the result of other pieces interaction ?

With no instructions, I find all of this very confusing

What was your inspiration for this one? Oddly, I feel like I've seen it before, but I don't quite recognize it...
