Facing six curious symbols labeled A through F, your mission is simple but subtle: which figure is the odd one out? At first glance, they all seem split into internal wedges or panels. But take a closer look: five of them share a consistent pattern of four sections and perfect mirror symmetry, while one quietly breaks the rule. How quickly can you spot the anomaly? Keep your eyes trained on both the number of internal regions and symmetry lines. Ready to test your pattern recognition? Choose your answer before scrolling down for the full explanation!

Which Figure Is Odd Here?

Here’s a lineup of six intriguing shapes—each one appears to be a balanced, symmetrical figure split into internal wedges or panels. Your challenge: “Which figure is odd here?” Take a moment to study their internal divisions and overall outlines, then decide which letter (A through F) breaks the pattern.

Common Mistakes

Focusing on Overall Outline Only

• When you glance quickly, you might compare just the outer silhouette and overlook the critical internal pattern.

Counting Lines Instead of Sections

Some solvers count the number of lines drawn rather than the number of resulting panels, missing subtle differences in how many regions each figure contains.

Ignoring Symmetry Details

It’s easy to see that most shapes are mirror-symmetric, but a quick skim can let the one non-mirrored design slip by undetected.

Step-by-Step Analysis

Examine Internal Regions

• Figures A, C, and D each form four compartments (like quadrants).
• Figures B and F split into four triangular wedges.
• Check for Mirror Symmetry
• A, B, C, D, and F are all perfectly bilaterally symmetric—each half mirrors the other.

Spot the Odd One

• Figure E, however, only divides its triangular outline into three internal segments, and its shape does not mirror evenly across any axis.

That makes E the only figure that fails both the “four-parts” rule and the mirror-image test.
