Hello Veeky Forums, so me and my friends are debating over the correct answer to this IQ test. There is the official answer to this, and then two valid answers. I will give the two possible answers at the end, but to not bias anyone, I will let you guys figure it out by yourselves first.

DO NOT READ THE ANSWERS IN THE COMMENTS BEFORE FIGURING IT OUT.

On the left you have the question and the available answers are available on the right, choose a number, and the logic behind it that made you chose it.

It's 3. Each color/part combination for each of the 3 different parts and colors is used exactly 3 times.

3

-1/12

Probably 3, but 7 crossed my mind too.

must be a black triangle: 3,5,7
must have all 3 colors: 3,7
vertical blue bar and horizontal yellow bar already occur in the right column: 3

And of course I mixed up vertical and horizontal
What's it called if you always mix up vert/horiz, left/right , and so on?

I like 7 better than 3, because that way only two colors will be used for the horizontal bars and only two colors will be used vertical bars in each row.

I believe it's called being a retard.

One way of remembering left and right is using your hands. Which hand do you write with? If you're right handed, right is on the side of the hand you write with, left is the other, the inverse is true for left handed people. Can't help you with horizontal and vertical, I have a weird method of remembering, which might not make much sense to others.

But that will leave more than 1 possible answer (even though only one is available from the list that matches it)
