We recently went to a restaurant where this puzzle was on the back of the kids menu. I tried to figure it out but was unable to. Can anyone help?

I don't see anything else I can do, is there any way to proceed logically?

I am stuck again. What is the next step?

Hello everyone!
First of all, I want to thank all of you. The interest you’ve shown in my IQ tests genuinely makes me happy. Every new IQ test I share brings different perspectives, logical analyses, and incredibly detailed explanations. Reading your comments and seeing how everyone approaches the same test in different ways has become one of the most enjoyable parts of creating these IQ tests.
For my previous IQ test, I selected xjxcxgxpx‘s explanation as the official solution on the test’s solution page. Their explanation was both highly logical and easy to follow. They broke the pattern down step by step, making it simple for anyone to understand the reasoning. I’d like to thank them once again for taking the time to write such a detailed explanation.
This time, I’ve added a new IQ test to the site, but I’ve intentionally left the solution unpublished.
Instead, I’d love to ask for your help once again.
If you’d like to participate, don’t just post your answer. Please explain your reasoning step by step. For me, it’s not only about arriving at the correct answer, but also about explaining the thought process in a way that others can easily understand.
You can post your detailed explanation here in the comments, or you can also leave it directly in the comment section of the IQ test using the link below. I’ll be reading the explanations there as well, and I may choose one of them if I find it to be the clearest, most logical, and most educational.

Just like last time, I’ll carefully read every comment. The explanation I find to be the clearest, most logical, and most educational will be published as the official solution for this IQ test.
I find it fascinating how many different ways people approach the same IQ test. That’s exactly why I enjoy these discussions so much.
Thank you all in advance for participating. I’ll do my best to reply to your comments whenever I have the opportunity. I’m truly grateful to everyone who takes the time to share their thoughts.
Good luck, everyone! I can’t wait to read your solutions.

For an application procedure I will have to do an intelligence test. Luckily I am able to practice. With most of the questions, I can see the logic either immediately or after I am shown the correct answer. However, this logical sequence has left me clueless. Can someone explain why the next number in the sequence is supposed to be 7/44? Thanks in advance!

Edit: Wow, thanks. Now I understand it. I agree that the start of this puzzle is to look at the ‘obscure fractions’, as those are unlikely to be simplified. From there, the pattern can become clear by rewriting the first few fractions. Still not the most elegant of puzzles I would say.

I’m working on a puzzle prototype where you drag nodes around until none of the connections cross. Each level gets more complex, with different layouts and mechanics added over time.

I’m looking for honest feedback. Does this feel like something that could become a good game, or does it feel like a waste of time? What do you dislike? What would make you keep playing?

I’m also unsure what format would fit best. Would you prefer simple relaxing level progression, daily puzzles, time trials, fewest-move challenges, leaderboards, or something else?

Any blunt feedback is welcome. I’m trying to find out whether the core idea is worth pushing further.

This is the first creation I share of what I call a "Clueless Crossword" puzzle, a crossword that has no clues except for the theme. This one includes all countries of the world, densely packed into a single interconnected grid.

My goal was to pack everything together as dense and interconnected as possible. This result is a 42 × 64 grid with 195 countries and 375 intersections.

I hope some of you print it out, and enjoy filling it out over the holidays! I'd love to hear your thoughts about it and how far you got!

My game is fairly simple. You're given a hint for two words that rhyme (or nearly rhyme), and then you have to guess the answer.

Example: a clever jingle
Answer: Witty Ditty

I'm trying to create the puzzles myself, spread across 4 categories: easy, medium, hard, very hard. I'm trying to find the balance between the difficulties. Some of my beta testers, who are not puzzlers, are struggling with the hard/very hard puzzles, which is expected, but I don't know if they are too hard.

Can anyone solve these, or are they too hard?

Puzzle 1: A refined taste for democracy

Puzzle 2: Approach a fading bloom

Puzzle 3: A verified taming

Been enjoying these lately and thought this one was fun. From an app called Logic Islands: Deduction Game. I got it fairly quickly, but thought it was worth sharing

It’s got us stumped!

When I get to a spot like this, I generally just try one way and see if it works

I'm looking for the two final words in this zanagrams puzzle.

Drag along connected letters to make words. Letters and paths can be reused, and together the two answers use every letter and path at least once.

My wife and I have been unable to decode this puzzle from one of our kid’s toys (no answer key on the back). It’s supposed to be a phrase of some sort but we haven’t been able to crack it. Any ideas?

Edit: This is from an LOL Surprise doll given years ago.

I am stuck. What's the next step?
