                       SEVEN - PATTERN RECOGNITION 

Instructions

There is no time limit, and reference materials such as dictionaries or encyclopedias, for example, to look up a word you do not know, are encouraged. Please try to solve the problems on your own, and do not reveal any found answers to others. 

A problem is made up of a set of words, figures, shapes or a mixture thereof. The elements of a column or set share a common pattern/feature. You have to explain the shard feature or pattern. To lock the intended solution, the common features or patterns of two problems shown next to each other contrast, but are not always exact opposites. 

An answer should be a short sentence, and needs to point out the feature or pattern. Even the obscure-looking questions have clear, easily explainable answers. Once found and seen, it's obvious. Like many things in life.

Notice: Click to enlarge. This is still a Bongard-type problem with contrasting pairs. Each individual labyrinth constitutes an element in its respective column. What is the common pattern/feature? Might look like the most difficult or intimidating riddle, but... I should not say too much.

“She said, "It's not life or death, the labyrinth."

"Um, okay. So what is it?"

"Suffering," she said. "Doing wrong and having wrong things happen to you. That's the problem. Bolivar was talking about the pain, not about the living or dying. How do you get out of the labyrinth of suffering?... Nothing's wrong. But there's always suffering, Pudge. Homework or malaria or having a boyfriend who lives far away when there's a good-looking boy lying next to you. Suffering is universal. It's the one thing Buddhists, Christians, and Muslims are all worried about.”
