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.

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

This is a tough one. Even after finally giving up and googling for "matrix15n.gif", I can't find any other's who definitively show the solution:

I speak swedish so np. I liked Drag's idea but wasnt convinced. Reading those links it seems like #3 is the sollution but noone seems to understand why [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I have to give it some more thought.

I think this problem is beyond the point where any specific solution is going to be compellingly correct.

This type of problem is primarily about guessing what the test maker thinks qualifies as a pattern. This is stupid.

Re: Can anyone solve this?
 
if we're going based off reasonless guessing, i could see 3 being reasonable, but i think we can eliminate it down to 1 or 3. 2, 4, and 5 are too needlessly complex.

the only reasoning i can see for 3 is it follows a general pattern of simplifying, and it isn't as similar to the top right box as number one, which for all we know (reasonless guessing) matters for some reason.
