Hint
This teaser is very easy if you draw a diagram.Answer
The order was Square, Circle, Triangle, Diamond, Wavy Lines.Clue 1: We know now that the Square and Diamond are 3 cards apart, so the Square must fall 1st or 2nd and the Diamond 4th or last.
2.The Wavy Lines are to the Diamond's right, so the Diamond falls 4th leaving the Square at 1st.
3.This is just a hint to let you know the Square was 1st.
4.The Circle wasn't to the side of the Diamond, so it had to fall 2nd, next to the Square.
5. The Triangle wasn't 1st, so it had to fit in the last place not taken, 3rd, or to the left of the Diamond.

It's kinda hard in your head. Don't be ashamed. Pep talk
You don't even need Clue 5. The triangle is 3rd by default.
i had to draw it out to make it,don't feel bad. And clue number 5 is just so you dont get confused. My sister said I needed to make the triangle more clear.
Lol, your sis was wrong
I did it in my head, though I had to concentrate. I'll bet you all could do it, because my visual performance is in the 25th percentile!

Couldn't do it. Had to check afterwards with a piece of paper.

You don't need the third or fifth clues; you can figure it out by the fourth, and from the first two clues you can figure out the third clue
Love this one! But, as far as the explanation, it's misleading to say that the suare comes first or second and the diamond is 4th or last because you don't know that until you get the clues that the square and wavy lines are at the ends and the wavy lines are to the right of the diamond. Until then, the square could be last and the diamond second.
Solved with a piece of paper and pencil
The explanation is very convoluted.
Clue 3 tells you the Square and Wavy Lines are at the ends, which immediately makes Clue 5 redundant.
Clue 2 tells you that Wavy Lines must be 5th, therefore Square is 1st.
Clue 1 tells you that Diamond is 4th.
Clue 4 tells you that Circle is 2nd and Triangle, therefore, is 3rd.
