I thought the last one should be 六, since all the others are pictograms. But as you wrote, there are probably multiple solutions to all of them.

Yeah, that works too! When creating these, it’s really hard to come up with interesting challenges that don’t have too many answers. I sometimes come up with something I think is really good, only to find out that there is actually a much more simple solution that I didn’t see. Oh, well, the goal is to encourage people to compare and contrast characters, so as long as you do that, I’m happy. :slight_smile:
