Medium Matrix Reasoning Questions

Column determines horizontal position — column 0 cells sit at the left of the cell, column 1 at the centre, column 2 at the right.

Two rules run at the same time: rotation and position.

row determines the reflection axis (no reflection in row 0, vertical in row 1, horizontal in row 2) while column determines horizo…

row parity controls reflection — even rows show the F-shape unreflected, the odd row applies a vertical reflection.

Correct answer: C • Look down each column — the third cell combines all dots from the first two cells.

Count the rings in each cell.

The dot count follows a repeating cycle of 4 values across all 9 cells in reading order.

The size changes across this grid, but size is not the rule — ignore it.

Each column must have all three fill values.

The three diagonals run top-left to bottom-right and wrap round the edge; each holds all three fills once.

The size changes across this grid, but size is not the rule — ignore it.

The colour changes across this grid, but colour is not the rule — ignore it.

The colour changes across this grid, but colour is not the rule — ignore it.

The three diagonals run top-left to bottom-right and wrap round the edge; each holds all three colours once.

The three diagonals run top-left to bottom-right and wrap round the edge; each holds all three colours once.

The rule: each column's third cell holds every dot from the first AND second cell combined.

The rule: combine all dots from two cells — keep every dot from both.

across each row, the third cell keeps every dot that sits in one of the first two cells but not in both.

Correct answer: D • Look at the dots in each cell.

Correct answer: E • Look at the dots in each cell.

Each column must contain all three shapes — once each.

The three diagonals run top-left to bottom-right and wrap round the edge; each holds all three shapes once.

The three diagonals run top-left to bottom-right and wrap round the edge; each holds all three shapes once.

Each column holds all three colors, once each.

Each row must contain all three scale values — one each, no repeats.

A dot moves around the border of the grid, one step clockwise each row.

The dot moves around the edge of the grid, one step clockwise each row.

A dot moves up and down the same column, bouncing when it hits the top or bottom edge.

Both markers move one step clockwise around the edge each row.

Both markers move one step at a time around the edge of the grid.

Two markers (a dot and a ring) each move around the edge of the grid, one step at a time.

Each row rotates a figure by the same step, then rotates back — making a mirror pattern (e.g.

Each row rotates a figure by the same step, then mirrors back — so the third cell matches the first.

Each figure rotates by a fixed amount as you move through the grid.

Each row rotates the figure by the same fixed step each time.

Not a constant turn: row 2 runs quarter-turn, half-turn, upright — the amount changes between steps.

Each column rotates the same shape by a fixed step each row.

combine every dot from the first two cells — keep all of them — to make the third cell.

each row's third cell shows ALL dots from the first two cells combined.

The rule: each column's third cell shows ALL dots from the first AND second cells combined.

each column's third cell shows ALL dots from the first AND second cells combined.

the third cell keeps only the dots that appear in BOTH the first and second cells (intersection).

The rule: each row's third cell shows only the dots that appear in one cell but NOT both.

Each row and column must contain every shape, every color, and every size exactly once.

Each row and column uses every shape, color, and fill exactly once.

The grid mirrors itself across the middle column.

Each row combines its first two cells — every dot that appears in either cell must appear in the third cell.

Correct answer: E • Look at the dots in each cell.

Each column combines its top two cells — every dot from both cells appears in the third cell (union rule).

look DOWN each column — the third cell keeps only the dots that appear in BOTH cells above it.

Each column follows a union rule: the third cell contains every dot from the first AND second cell combined.

Each row shifts the F-shape by 90° clockwise each step.

Each shape, color, and rotation appears exactly once in every row and every column.

Each row and column contains all three shapes (L, triangle, F) and all three rotations (0°, 90°, 270°) exactly once.

Each shape, color, and rotation appears exactly once in every row and every column.

There are three objects in every tile, each with its own rule.

A small circle sits inside an outline hexagon in every cell.

Each rotation (90°, 180°, 270°) appears exactly once in every row and every column.

Family: CAYLEY TABLE (pair uniqueness).

Each cell holds an outline triangle with a small shape inside.

The F-shape turns 90° clockwise at each step across the whole grid.

Each row and each column contains all three rotations of the triangle: 0°, 90°, and 180°.

**Each row and column must have all three sizes: small, medium, large.** - Row 3 needs: large (cell 7) ✓, medium (cell 8) ✓, smal…

across each row, the third cell keeps only the dots sitting in the same position in both of the first two cells.

Each cell has a fixed blue square at top-left and a red circle whose position depends on (row + column) mod 3: - mod 0 → top-righ…

across each row, the third cell keeps only the dots sitting in the same position in both of the first two cells.

three things vary at once, each settled by its own row and column.

within each row the triangle grows from small to medium to large in left-to-right order.

two independent rules — scale grows top to bottom by row (small in row 0, medium in row 1, large in row 2) while horizontal positi…

each row is a palindrome — the first and third cells in every row share the same scale, with the middle cell holding a different s…

two independent rules — scale grows left to right by column (small in col 0, medium in col 1, large in col 2) while vertical posit…

The F-shape rotates 90° anti-clockwise at each step across every row.

The F-shape rotates by 90° steps — check the diagonals to find the pattern.

The F-shape rotates 90° clockwise at each step, reading left to right, top to bottom.

Each row steps the figure 90° per column, but the direction flips row by row.

**Rule: Each row must have all three sizes — small, medium, and large.** - Row 1 has small, medium, large ✓ - Row 2 has small, la…

Correct answer: A • The dot moves one step clockwise around the edge of the grid each cell.

The four sizes repeat in a fixed loop across all nine cells in reading order.

ONE figure changes in THREE ways at once — you must track all three together.
