Based on the logical analysis of the "Pattern Block Logic Puzzle," here is the solution:
The puzzle requires that each row and each column contain exactly one of each of the four shapes: a square, a diamond (rhombus), a triangle, and a hexagon.
By systematically examining each row and column, we can deduce the missing shapes:
1.
First Row: Contains a blue diamond, a yellow hexagon, and a green triangle. The only shape missing to complete the set is the
square. Therefore, the empty cell in the first row must be filled with a square.
2.
Second Row: Contains an orange square and a green triangle. It needs a diamond and a hexagon. By looking at the columns:
* The fourth column has a triangle, a square, and a diamond, so it needs a
hexagon. This means the empty cell in the second row, fourth column is a hexagon.
* The second column has a hexagon, a triangle, and a square, so it needs a
diamond. This means the empty cell in the second row, second column is a diamond.
3.
Third Row: Already contains a yellow hexagon, a green triangle, a blue diamond, and an orange square. This row is already complete.
4.
Fourth Row: Contains a green triangle and an orange square. It needs a diamond and a hexagon. By looking at the columns:
* The third column has a triangle, a diamond, and a square, so it needs a
hexagon. This means the empty cell in the fourth row, third column is a hexagon.
* The first column has a diamond, a square, and a hexagon, so it needs a
triangle. But the fourth row already has a triangle, so this is consistent. The remaining empty cell in the fourth row, second column must be a
diamond.
Therefore, the completed puzzle is as follows:
-
First Row: Diamond, Hexagon,
Square, Triangle
-
Second Row: Square,
Diamond, Triangle,
Hexagon
-
Third Row: Hexagon, Triangle, Diamond, Square
-
Fourth Row: Triangle,
Diamond,
Hexagon, Square
This arrangement satisfies the condition that each row and each column contains exactly one of each of the four shapes.
