Requisites : logic, imagination, shrewdness, minimal general knowledge, and a very good sense of observation. Send your answers to 916test@caramail.com.

Read carefully the following warning  !

WARNING

You have to choose the most basic, the most general and the most precise solution. To avoid confusion, don't "point out" the solution ; write or draw it completely ! If there is the most little part of subjectivity or interpretation in your answer, this is not the good answer !

A potentially infinite series is indicated by the dots ; the hyphens indicate the number of elements (not asked) after the question mark ; otherwise, there is logically nothing else possible after the last element.

The numbering of the items doesn't belong to the items !

The entire subtests A and B, and the most part of subtest C don't require any knowledge ; it means they are not culturally nor idiosyncratically biased ; all the symbols are fluid.

Principle of an analogy : "black : white :: true : false" must be read as this : white is to black as false is to true.

The analogy is the generic item in each part of the 916.
