What is missing in the picture?
Correct answer is
The reason is not because it's left of
, because as you can see in the second row
it's also left of
.
This is the order of elements:
The matrix puzzle starts with the first element, then adds each element once, and also resets the pattern to repeat itself.
And this is the result:
If you line this list in 6x6 matrix, it will look like the original puzzle.
This puzzle does not use it's full enigmatic potential though. For example, it could have been much more interesting and challenging if it could have looked like this:
I found there are 1,2,3,4,4,6,7,8 of each suite and the number increases black,red, black, red, black, red so the second 4 should have been 5 of a black suit. The two 4's were hearts and upside down clubs. So - upside down club.
