I. Below are sequences composed of nine numbers. Your task is to find the rules on which the sequence was
built and then, based on the discovered rule, identify the number that could continue the sequence. The rule
used in the sequence construction can be simple or complex, combining several simple rules. The list of simple
rules includes: 1. Adding or subtracting a constant number less than or equal to ten; 2. Adding or subtracting
two previous numbers of the sequence; 3. Adding the digits that make up a number and/or adding and/or
subtracting this from a number in the sequence.

IV. Carefully read the text below. After the text, there are a series of questions. For each question, mark
ONE ANSWER that can be logically deduced from the information in the text. The information given is
sufficient to identify the correct answer.

High school Olympians in a tourist resort invented a word game to spend their time more entertainingly. Players
have to form words (with meaning or pseudo-words, i.e., strings of nonsense letters) using the following letters: I,
M, N, P, O, and R. Words are valid only if they respect the following rules:
i. Each letter may be used no more than twice in a word;
ii. if the letter P is used twice, then N will also be used twice;
iii. if M is used twice, then I and O will also be used twice;
iv. if no letter occurs twice, then N must be used, in which case the only letter that can occur next to N is R.
v. if P is not used, then M will not be used either;
vi. if I is not used, then R must be used;
vii. the letter M can only sit next to I or N.

26. Which of the following statements must be true if no 28. What is the number of letters in the longest word that
letter has been used twice? can be created following the rules?
A. the letter M must be the first or last letter of the word A. 14
B. the letters I and R are part of the generated word B. 10
C. the letters N and R are part of the word C. 12
D. the letters M and P do not appear in the word D. 11
E. the letter R appears twice in the word, but not at the E. 13
beginning or end

27. How many letters will the shortest word that can be 29. Which of the following can be a word that satisfies the
generated in the game include? stated rules?
A. 2 A. MNNPO
B. 4 B. IMNP
C. 3 C. PPNNMI
D. 5 D. MMIIOO

V. Consider a set of figures marked with Roman numerals (I, II, III and IV), arranged in two pairs (I, II and III, IV)
on one side and the other of the "|" sign. Between the figures of each pair there is a certain relationship defined
by modifying some features (e.g. the position of the central object, the position of the black dot, the line type of
the central object or the position of the black rectangle). One of the four figures is missing. The task is to
identify the relationship between the figures of the complete pair and, based on this, to identify the missing
figure of the other pair.
