Aardvark Puzzles Squares

By Thomas A. Smith Jr.

Directions:  Each of these squares contains a pattern which can appear in just about any form.  Your goal is to find the missing figures. Very little general knowledge is required. There is no time limit and you may use any reference materials. However, don't discuss the problems with others. When you are finished with the test check your answers here. One last thing, the colors of the squares are merely decorative (or are they?).  Good luck!
