Re: Can anyone solve this?
i also think it is number 1.
I had similar reasoning to the above answer except i was looking at columns. in column 1, the first and third block have two circles. in column 2 the first and third block have one circle. in column 3 the first and third block have no circles. the middle block in each column i ignored. the above given answer complements mine

I'd choose 1. The number of areas separated by lines decreases from left to right. 4 2 1 8 4 2 3 2 ? So only 1 fits this observation. [/ QUOTE ] Took me awhile to understand what you were saying. Now that I understand I have to agree that this is a very convincing pattern and decided to make an image so other people could more easily understand.

Re: Can anyone solve this?
This isn't too compelling. Introducing a new pattern in the final row is confusing. Even if it were 4/2/1,8/4/2,4/2/x it would be a stretch. 16/8/4,8/4/2,4/2/x or 4/2/1,4/2/1,4/2/x would be good. But 4/2/1,8/4/2,3/2/x? A general trend toward a decrease in the number of shapes isn't enough of an indication of the pattern to represent a definite solution. 1 probably is the correct answer, but I think the puzzle is poorly-designed.

Re: Can anyone solve this?
Each row takes some of the circular/curved elements of the first square and all of the straight line elements of the third square and combines them to make the middle square. This is why I chose #2.
Edit: I also agree that all of the answers given in this thread are not very compelling, including mine. As with most of these types of questions, this one is poorly designed and really proves nothing of a person's intelligence.

If a person is really good at this things then they MUST be very smart. I think a very smart person can also be bad or average as these things test a certain type of intelligence.
