Brain Teasers
Color Cars
An old man was sitting down on his front yard watching cars go by for the remainder of the day. The first car to go past was a red car, to which he responded "nice". A few minutes later an orange car goes by, and he said "pretty". After another few minutes a yellow car goes by and the man said "man! The next car is going to be easy". The next car goes by and it was the right color car the man was hoping for. What should the color of the last car be?
Answer
The color is green since the cars are going by the colors of the rainbow.Hide Answer Show Answer

Good one I said white wasn't going by the rainbow o well I am only 12
I understood the pattern and guessed the right answer... but was there a reason for the pattern? It would have been neat if it was a rainbow festival or something - then it might have seemed less random.
Thanks so much for the teaser! It was fun.

I'm sorry, but that was so obvious I thought I must be wrong. Maybe reverse order would have been trickier.
Awsome i was stumped for weeks
I didn't like this one. You really made it seem like what the man was saying was a result of the cars, and that the word "easy" could somehow help you derive the answer. To just use the colors of the rainbow was a lame puzzle.
enjoyed that riddle...I actually got that one
LAME!!! it would have been better if you said green, and then alot more people would have gotten it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
okay, that was the easiest one ever! It was obvious
I was kinda fooled by what the man\'s comments were. But I thought of the EM spectrum of visible light and then applied the concept of parsimony to come to a simplistic conclusion.
Great teaser! Really good!
The rainbow idea was brilliant.

I thought it was white. I would have liked a hint on that one...
Red to Orange to Yellow to ....
I thought White would be next since you've added white to each color. I had no reason at all to expect the colors of the rainbow. I like the old man though.

I enjoyed it! I just randomly guess the correct answer! I thought it was fun!!
The guy in the teaser must get excited by everything.
I agree with some of the other comments. The teaser does seem like it needs a little more depth. However, it's a good one for those new to the site or just learning to do teasers.
Yeah, its really fun but, I did not have the chance to attempt this puzzle mind if you can give a chance to guess the answer.
