In one step, the elements move in the sequence and in the next step, the elements move in the sequence The two steps are repeated alternately.

Similar figure reappears in every fourth step and each time a figure reappears, it rotates through 90 ^oACW.

One extra line is added in each step in a set order.

Similar figure appears alternately and each time a figure reappears, all the elements move one step CW.

The number of symbols added sequentially is 3, 2, 5, 2, 7, 2, .... These symbols are added to form a sequence of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 identical symbols.

The elements interchange positions in the orders and alternately.

The upper-left element gets laterally inverted in first, third, fifth. .... steps; the upper-right element gets rotated through 180 ^o is first, fourth, seventh,.... steps; the lower-left element gets laterally inverted in second, fourth, sixth, ... steps; the lower-right element gets rotated through 180 ^o in third, sixth,... steps and the pin at the middle-right position gets laterally inverted in every second step.

Three and two arcs are inverted alternately. The central element rotates 90 ^oACW and 180 ^o alternately.

All the elements together move one space to the right in each step and once they reach the rightmost position, then in the next step, they move to the leftmost position. Also, in the first step, the first (uppermost) and the third elements interchange positions; in the second step, the second and the fourth elements interchange positions and in the third step, none of the elements interchange positions. These three steps are repeated to continue the series.

In each step, the elements move in the order
