Answer is clearly #5…here’s why.
The two symbols are rotating counterclockwise around the perimeter of the square. The = sign is moving 1 space, then 2, then 1, then 2. The + sign is always located one step behind the previous position of the = sign. Thus that is the most logical progression.

Shaun , Yes number one would repeat the pattern of movement but 5 would repeat the series which is what I thought the answers were pointing at because of answer 2 but I guess that shows how many ways you could look at it and me not keeping it simple. ;-P

Jerrud,
In figure 5, neither a corner nor a side is skipped, so I don’t think this can be it. If I understand your logic, your pattern is:
+ skips a corner, = moves 1 place
= skips a corner, + moves 1
+ skips a side, = moves 1
= skips a side, + moves 1
Figure 1 would repeat this pattern from the beginning:
+ skips a corner, = moves 1

5 is the answer, the = and + both skip one center side position and one corner, since this pattern has to repeat and we can not assume another skip point besides that already shown then 1 would not be it for it would change the pattern along with 3 and 4, anwswer 2 is assuming another skip point that is’nt shown. Take what evidence is shown then the pattern gives number 5 as the answer.
