The common mistake

Here's a common mistake. Accepting a copy that's been turned. It looks like the same shape, but it faces a different way. So it doesn't count.

Hello, and welcome to Myriora Non-verbal Reasoning! A small shape is hidden inside one of these pictures. Your job is to find which one.

Here are the rules. The hidden shape must be the same size. It must face the same way, so it can't be turned. And extra lines can run past it, or cross it.

Here's how to look. Pick out one bend in the shape. Look for that bend in the picture. Then follow the rest of the shape, with your finger. If every line is there, you've found it.

Let's try one together. Which picture has the shape hidden inside it? Here's a tip: start with the bend. Say it out loud!

The answer is picture B! Every line of the shape is there, at the same size, facing the same way.

Here's a common mistake. Accepting a copy that's been turned. It looks like the same shape, but it faces a different way. So it doesn't count.

Your turn! Which picture has the shape hidden inside it? Pick the right card. You've got ten seconds, or pause the video. Go!

Time's up! The answer is picture A! The shape is there, with extra lines around it.

Quick review. The shape must be the same size. It must face the same way. Extra lines don't matter. Start with a bend, and follow it with your finger. See you next time!
