For the life of me i can not elimiate C it seems to work perfectly. The hexagon appears to be slightly non-uniform too if that helps out at all.

Thanks once again guys 🙂

I believe that C can be eliminated because in reference to either the yellow or white top being seen, you are looking at the completely folded hexagon from the larger white section being on the right. To get this perspective you have to mentally flip the figure towards yourself, and you would have D, i think at least. Sorry if thats tough to follow.... 🙂

Yeah, but if you fold it all up, then rotate it by 180 degrees, why does C not work out . B/c the white part attached to the yellow hexagon appears to be just as large as the larger white part initially attached to the white hexagon.

And if they are banking on the fact that the larger white part initally attached to the white hexagon is slightly larger then the white part initally attached to the yellow hexagon i think thats just ridiculous b/c they are SO close

It's C. D doesn't work.

It's C. D doesn't work.

D should work if you fold it all up invert the whole object and then rotate counter clockwise by 60 degrees. However it could be argued that this is a non-uniform hexagon in which case in figure D the yellow part on the far left MUST be large and in the case of what i just described it would be small....

In order to get the coloring , BIG yellow, SMALL yellow, BIG WHITE, you must fold it and flip it over, meaning that not only are you going to have the sequence, BIG YELLOW, SMALL YELLOW, BIG WHITE, but you are also going to have a Yellow top instead of a White because the object is FLIPPED to acheive the correct pattern shown.

In the top problem (I think that's the one you're referring to), the correct answer is C just as JavadiCavity says. You can't eliminate it because it's the correct answer.

I'm not sure if 1FutureDDS is saying this also because it was hard for me to interpret that post.

Yes kaplan is wrong with this one (and there are more mistakes kaplan makes)...i've confirmed this with other ppl at the kaplan center, so you haven't gone nuts...
