Most of the pictures are dull and boring, so Chris decided to modify and make them more interesting. One of the most successful algorithm to do this is called
bloom
. Consider the image
If we apply
bloom
on it, it becomes
On which two pictures, after applying
bloom
1 and 2 times respectively, will turn into the image below?
A.
B.
C.

This is an IQ test question, right?
The solution is that the action of
bloom
is to perform a double reflection of the image about a point that is the origin of two perpendicular axes. So, for example, for choice A, a green square, the origin (0,0) would be at the lower left vertex of a square circumscribing the green square. This creates 3 more green squares to get the desired image. Similarly, choice B, a green half square, the origin (0,0) being at the lower left vertex of same, upon thebloom
action, creates 3 more such half squares to make the image we see in choice A.
