EX4 - Visual Thinking Research


Initially, I misread the way to solve the problem. I thought you just had to find the two colors that had the same shapes showing; not overall matching area. So I thought it was going to be a quick cutting out of the shapes and then matching them (image 1). I quickly found out neither of two of the four colors showing matched. I reread the directions and looked at the puzzle a little closer and noticed the faded background and revisited the Images in Action PDF and went about a new way of solving the puzzle. It was clear that from the cutouts it was too hard to determine which areas were exactly the same. There needed to be common areas to decipher the puzzle. My friend and I then completed the background over the colored circles (image 2) and then counted out the common features of each color. The GREEN and BLUE each had 10 outter similar shapes and of course the 4 similar inside shapes resulting in green and blue having the same total visible areas.
