Does anyone know how these are D? I know my answer isn't right but I just don't see it:/

for the first one:

the round cylinders are lower than the pyramid in the middle, push the object through starting with the cylinders, so the object is going through the hole diagonally on its side. So all you see is the pointed tip of the pyramid and the flat base.

for the second one:

turn the object so that it is laying on its flat side (non-slanted side)...as in a 90 degree rotation to the right, and push it through. the parallelograms trick your eyes into seeing the slanted lines, but pushing it through on its flat side gives a square shape.

Can you describe more about the second one? i don't see the parallelograms

honestly, these will be part of the experimental problems you get on the PAT. Not good problems. Very iffy on both.

Thanks a lot SuperPink, still working on the first one...but both are so weird!!

edit: I SEE IT haha thanks...what a tricky one!

Pat Kelly,

If you were looking from above (topview) you would see the parallelogram - but the purpose of those slanted lines was to trick your eyes into only seeing the slanted lines and not the possible straight line.

So when the object has been rotated 90 degree to the right, where it is lying on its flat side and the circular tube is pointing to the right. You should see the corner of the parallelogram coming out at you. Push the object as is away from you (so that it fits into the hole). Only the top and bottom of the object need to fit through, the pointed slanted ends will slide in too without needing more "hole" room.

I hope that helps!
