appearing in the second drawing, then appearing fully in the third drawing where the black circle ‘plate’ completely covers the one with the white circle black, and then its lower half appearing in the fourth drawing. In the next instance the plain ‘plate’ would have moved to the right hand side, but is, in fact, covered by the ‘plate’ with the black circle. Therefore, a) remains the only possible answer. 34. Only in d) is one of the internal lines drawn from the other internal line. 35. The black circle moves back and forth so that in the next instance it will be top right, which appears in all the alternatives. The white circle moves anti-clockwise, but when it moves to the same position as the black circle it is hidden by the black circle, so that in the next instance it should be top right, which eliminates c) and d). The triangle between the two lines alternates so that on the next occasion it will be on the right, which happens for all alternatives. The small white circle, seen between the two lines in the first drawing, moves a quarter of a turn anti-clockwise. In the second drawing it is hidden by the triangle. In the continuing – fifth instance- it should have come around to the top again between the two lines so it cannot be a), thus b) where it is positioned correctly and because b) is not eliminated by the other criteria.
