This is a game for people who need to work on their deductive and inductive reasoning skills. It is mostly completely different sequences; i.e. picking which domino would be next in a series. It has a lot to do with looking at patterns and determining whether something even belongs in a sequence.
This was probably most likely originally designed to be an independent computer unit for students to work through on a computer rather than go through endless worksheets and quizes with the teacher.
There are a couple of different modes in the game, including a study mode where you can spend a good amount of time learning what types of patterns to look for and how to spot the differences.

There are a couple of different modes in the game, including a study mode where you can spend a good amount of time learning what types of patterns to look for and how to spot the differences. Once you feel you have
a complete understanding of the different patterns you can enter practice mode. In this mode you can work out all the problems at your own leisure, taking as much time as you need on each question. This is a perfect chance to prepare your skills for the upcoming final test mode.
In the test mode you have 15:00 minutes to answer a series of several questions including sequence questions, "odd man out" questions (kind of like "One of these things is not like the other" from Sesame Street, but more complicated).
Overall this is actually a pretty fun game to play if you enjoy this type of linear thinking and working on your logic skills. It would especially be good for kids who are still working on developing logical thinking skills. In school they tend to not work on these types of puzzles until later elementary grades and middle school, but this program could certainly walk a much younger child through it and help them develop critical thinking skills that they would be able to apply to all aspects of their life and education process.
This is the kind of game that we need to get our young kids playing again, like when I was a kid in the late 80's and early 90's. It was games like this and other educational games like Number Munchers that allowed me to enter kindergarten already knowing all my prime numbers as well as being able to multiply and divide by second semester of kindergarten. Good program to make you kids spend some time with and actually learn something.
