Spot the Odd Cone
Understand the puzzle
The exact puzzle
An ice-cream machine builds a cone from the bottom up using a repeating rule: two scoops of one flavour, then one scoop of a different flavour, then repeat. Reading each cone from the bottom, which one does NOT follow the rule? A: Vanilla, Vanilla, Choc, Vanilla, Vanilla, Choc. B: Straw, Straw, Mint, Mint, Straw, Straw. C: Choc, Choc, Straw, Mint, Mint, Vanilla. D: Grape, Grape, Blue, Rasp, Rasp, Grape.
Why this matters
Check a rule everywhere, because 'looks right' is not 'is right'
