Rules

At a glance 7 rules

  1. 1Letter analogiesLetter analogies are codes with one example: find the change with EJOTY positions, a shift, the mirror 27−n27 - n or a reversal, confirm it on every letter, then apply it.
  2. 2Copy the letter shiftsIf the letters move by different amounts (+2, +3, +4), copy each place's shift to the new cluster, but only after checking it on every example pair.
  3. 3When shifts disagreeIf the example pairs use different shifts, stop copying shifts and test the positions themselves: doubled, squared or mirrored (C to F, E to J is doubling).
  4. 4Number pairs: classic linksFor a pair n : m test, in turn, n2±1n^2 \pm 1, n3±nn^3 \pm n, n(n+1)n(n + 1) and n(n−1)2\tfrac{n(n - 1)}{2} (10 : 45), the next prime (13 : 17), then a fixed ×k\times k or +k+k.
  5. 5Check every given pairOne pair fits many rules (3 : 12 is 4n4n, n2+3n^2 + 3 or n(n+1)n(n + 1)). Keep only the rule that also fits every other pair you are given.
  6. 6Triads: build the middleIn a set like (4, 36, 9), make the middle number from the two ends: the product first, then sums, squares and their differences (62−42=206^2 - 4^2 = 20).
  7. 7Whole numbers onlyWhen the question says not to split numbers into digits, never use digit sums or digit products; work with the whole numbers only.

  1. Q1Easy

    8 is related to 63 in the same way as 12 is related to which number?

    Correct answer143

    Why

    Test the classic links on the first pair: 63=64−1=82−163 = 64 - 1 = 8^2 - 1.

    The same rule on 12 gives 122−1=144−112^2 - 1 = 144 - 1.

    So 12 is related to 143.

  2. Q2Easy

    Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.

    (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. For example, with 13, operations such as adding, subtracting or multiplying 13 can be performed; breaking 13 down into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

    (15, 105, 7)

    (12, 60, 5)

    Correct answer(18, 162, 9)

    Why

    Build the middle number from the two ends, trying the product first.

    15 and 7 multiply to 105, and 12 and 5 to 60, so the middle is the product.

    Among the options only 18 and 9 make their middle, 162, so the set is (18, 162, 9).
