Discussion
These characters are taken from the number row of a keyboard. Which symbol continues the run?
*, &, ^, %, ?
Answer: C
Correct answer: $
These are the shifted characters of the number row, taken in reverse: shift-8 gives *, shift-7 gives &, shift-6 gives ^, shift-5 gives %. Continuing backwards, shift-4 gives $. Symbol series almost always depend on keyboard order rather than on any mathematical rule, so the keyboard is the thing to picture. # is shift-3 and would be the term after next. Symbol series depend on the physical keyboard rather than on any ordering intrinsic to the characters, so the row of number keys is what should be pictured.
