Are you smart enough to be an astronaut?

I think B would be the answer because it doesn't match any of the others in arrangement or shading.

According to the website, you have to explain why you selected your answer.

B. The grid pattern is that the colors stay in the same places but all four shapes have to be different than the grids on either side. Only choice B meets both of those requirements, vertically, horizontally and diagonally.

Winner!

Another wiener!!!

Visually and logically, same size wheels should rotate at the same speed when one is the driver and the other is driven by it. What complicates things is not knowing the sizes of the idler wheels, so you have to assume they will result in cancelling each other out or fool yourself into believing that they're going to have different angular speeds - unless you can do the math to prove it to yourself.

Easiest thing to do is to apply the law of gearing and assume each wheel is a gear with a single tooth, and then do the calcs for a compound gear train. Your result should match your gut instinct that both wheels that are the same size will spin at the same speed. But again - to do this you'll need to know the diameters of all the wheels.

Maybe have to settle for “space cadet”.

In your next life you could always try to get admitted to the Star Fleet Academy
Well something similar.

No doubt in my mind...some day in the future, we will not have NASA, Russian, Chinese a.s.o. We will have on Organization.

Actually with the creation of the US Space Force that could become an official rank!
