Spatial Reasoning

Two timed parts. The first fits flat shapes together. The second turns two different 3D objects, and you follow a red dot on each.

Part 1 · Flat shapes

10 questions, 4 minutes.

  1. You get three or four shapes. A side marked x, y or z has to meet the side with the same letter.
  2. Turn a shape, or flip it over, if that is what makes the sides meet.
  3. The pieces sit snug. They do not overlap, and they do not leave a gap.
  4. Pick the combined shape.

Part 2 · 3D objects

10 questions, 4 minutes.

  1. Two different shapes are shown, each in its own colour. Each has a red dot on a corner or an edge.
  2. The first picture stays upright, with only a slight tilt. The answers can turn a shape onto its side or upside down. The dot stays on the same part of the shape.
  3. Pick the picture where both dots are still on those same parts.

A to E chooses an answer. Enter moves on. You can move back. A blank scores as incorrect.
