Four figures are the same shape rotated. One is a mirror image. Spot it.
Question 1 of 12
Four of these figures are the same shape turned around. Which one is the odd one out?
All five are the comb shape, so the outline alone will not separate them. Look at the dot instead, and at which side of the shape it sits on. In four of them the dot keeps the same place relative to the shape however far it has been turned. In B it does not: that one has been flipped over rather than turned, so it is a mirror image and turning it will never make it match the others. A quick test is to imagine picking each figure up and spinning it on the page — the odd one would have to be lifted and turned over.
The answer is B. All five are the comb shape, so the outline alone will not separate them. Look at the dot instead, and at which side of the shape it sits on.

Nothing here is saved. Close the page and it is gone, which is exactly how we want it while your child is the one using it.
