Agreed. Operations equivalent to addition, subtraction, and xoring are also popular on this type of test. I'm sure there are more that I'm not aware of either, and quite confident that the tricks are learnable.
There were at least two cases where I said "Of the five things here, one is the XOR of two of the others, and the XOR of the other two is one of the answers."
It's really the questions where I can't tell if there is supposed to be some progression, or just a series of unordered things.
