My Results
My method of solving the puzzle was by circling all the overlapping edges with a different color for each color group. For example, I used orange to circle all the edges that overlapped blue. For the yellow circles, I used magenta to circle the overlaps. From there, I counted all the edges I circled for each color and compared one color group to another. Red had a total of 7 circles overlapping it; yellow had 5; green had 6; and blue had 6. Since blue and green had equal total numbers of visible areas, blue and green is the answer. According to McKim’s reading, my method would be categorized under pattern finding and visual comparison.
My Friend's Results
For my friend’s method, she did the same method as mine by counting the overlapping edges for every color group and comparing the each total amount. Instead of finding how many visible areas exist, she tried finding how many areas are covered.
Solution
We are both correct!
Actual Puzzle 2
My Results
Although this seems like an easy puzzle to figure out, it can be overlooked when counting the triangles. One can lose their place counting the overlapping triangles or miss one that is well hidden. The cat's tail was the part that took special attention to count. I found all the triangles except one more, an obtuse triangle, in the cat's tail. I found 19 out of 20. What helped me, however, to count was to count the big, noticeable triangles first, then count the small, well-hidden triangles within the triangles second.
My friend's results
Since she basically found everything I found, I left everything the same except for the triangle I didn't find which is highlighted in green. She found the missing obtuse triangle in the cat's tail. 20 triangles out of 20. According to McKim's reading, this method of puzzle solving using pattern perception. We zoomed out to find the obvious triangles then we zoomed in to find the hidden triangles. There's a constant "flip-flop" way of seeing.
