To be fair, I think the ones I was completely guessing on and managed to
get right qualifies as dumb luck rather than intelligence/subconsciously
seeing what the pattern really is. And that was, like...a lot of the
ones with the merging/rotating square things at the end. Seriously,
what was up with those?
If they'd asked you to actually *explain* what the progression was
instead of a multiple-guess situation, I'd be screwed.
But look on the bright side; your score of 121 is still quite a bit
higher than the mean of 100.
