Or you know it isn't something that I thought could be answered by saying there are x amount of cheeses. Is solving patterns in shapes that different to solving patterns with letters? At what point does something become a type of pattern? The point I was more getting at was that pattern recognition in a test like the one in OP is the same as being able to spot patterns in trends for things like productivity of workers at certain times of the day and getting an idea of why this happens. Hence lumping them all together. Then wuf made a good point and made me reconsider what I was saying.

Unless you took my post about being a genius seriously I also don't see why you think I'm an expert in pattern recognition or anything like that. I clearly have no skills of any real value.

What does constitute a different type of cheese?
