Four signs are shown: (1) a red ring with a white bicycle, (2) a blue circle with a white bicycle, (3) a red-bordered triangle with a bicycle, (4) a blue circle with the white number 30. How many give a legal order that you must obey?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. Three: the first, second and fourth

  1. Step 1: Circles give orders, either a prohibition (red ring) or an instruction (blue circle), while triangles warn. Step 2. Signs 1, 2 and 4 are circles, and sign 3 is a warning, so three signs give an order. Answer: Three: the first, second and fourth. Why not the others: Counting only blue circles misses the prohibition, counting all four includes the warning, and one ignores the blue circles.
