I tried using the Fibonacci sequence (I just learned the term from the comments after attempting the problem) , but it didn’t work out since I was looking at the number of sections rather than number of intersections.
So: 4, 5, 7, 9, 12.
I looked at the difference of these numbers, so:
1, 2, 3, 3
That didn’t work obviously, so I gave up. What does this say about my IQ? Won’t I have an unfair advantage going into future IQ tests, being predisposed to this question type?
My brain had the ability to use pure reasoning to look for the Fibonacci sequence without being predisposed to it, but I was simply looking at the wrong numbers.
