I still have 7 more things to put away and time is running out fast. Next I decide to put away the giant's board games.

The colors of the board games are blue, brown, green, orange, purple, red, and yellow.

1. Purple is somewhere to the left of green.

2. Red is next to blue.

3. Brown is 3 away from blue (2 between).

4. Yellow is 2 away from red.

5. Blue is in the middle.

6. Orange is directly between yellow and purple.

(user deleted) Apr 06, 2005	Super fantastic!!! Why more explanations - it's a TEASER! You need to figure it out otherwise there is no fun. There were enough detail to get it right without being to difficult. Keep it up - I LOVE THIS!!!
whaleycm Apr 06, 2005	very easy, The only thing it lacked as far as the actual teaser goes is the point such as...Can you put the colors in order?
(user deleted) Apr 06, 2005	I thought it was a great puzzle! I love these types. As for not understanding it, I thought it was perfect excpept all you had to say was can you put them in order. Other than that it was awsome
froggygg Apr 06, 2005	Good teaser with just enough info given to solve. Easy but enjoyed it.

FulanitoGM Apr 07, 2005	I was a little confused too when I first read it, but I was able to solve it with just the information given. Love these types of puzzles. Pay no mind to the haters!
heterodox Apr 07, 2005	no extra explanation needed. it's a standard logic type.
(user deleted) Apr 07, 2005	Excellent.... I just takes brains....
(user deleted) Apr 07, 2005	Excuse me, IT just takes brains....
Israel-Girl Apr 12, 2005	That was a GREAT teaser!!!! I luv these kind!!
GebbieRose May 16, 2006	EZ but fun. Like the puzzles you need a scratch pad for.
OldChinaHand May 16, 2006	A bit vague as to what the teaser was about...but getting things in some order is getting easy as many times as this type of teaser has been used on this site.
montoman May 16, 2006	a bit to easy
lmurray May 16, 2006	HEN HAO! XIEXIE NI VERY GOOD! THANK YOU!
xeses May 16, 2006	very clean and fun puzzle. enjoyable. It would have been nice to simply put the question 'which order should the puzzles go in?' But that was implied from the description, so I just went for it. keep em coming!
stang99 May 16, 2006	I didn't get it 'cause I haven't seen the other parts! Well in part V give a better discription.
coachpisco May 16, 2006	Waiting for number 4.
k8ly May 16, 2006	I don't see whats not to get. This is the first teaser of yours I've seen and I understood it no problem. It was quite easy but fun!
bradon182001 May 16, 2006	I understood it, I just didnt' get it.
Shechatfan May 16, 2006	This is my favorite kind of puzzle; loved this one and it was kinda easy
saleprice May 16, 2006	had a bad start to the morn so I couldnt even bother to try this one lol
iteachkids May 16, 2006	Sorry about your morn, SalePrice. Hope it brightens up! Funny how some find these Logic puzzles so easy and others of us - including me - struggle. That's the BRAIN for ya!
mbunap May 16, 2006	Always enjoy a logic puzzle, whether they are simple or difficult. It's nice to find something in the email box other than a riddle or word teaser.
auntiesis May 16, 2006	Logic probs are some of my favorite things in the world. One of my sons got his first one in the 3rd grade, and I helped him and got hooked. Love, love, love them. I've been doing them for over 30 years and can't get enough. Thanks, and keep them coming. By the way I thought there were plenty of clues. Thanks again.
jazzmusician46 May 16, 2006	Sorry...maybe I'm tired, but I'm not sure it was explained very well. I lost the plot!!!
lolita May 16, 2006	that was easy, yet fun... i like these teasers.
locomom May 16, 2006	Great logic teaser...period! thanks for a daily that I really like for a change. I am a logic and cryptography nut!!!
hermione_g May 16, 2006	beautifully put together
Trishgal May 16, 2006	Didn't see the other parts ,but I got it I understand about the need for some put them in order or whatever ,cus i sit here with a blank look on my face for five minutes thinkin somethin would explain otherwise lovedit
rednek May 16, 2006	i don't get it
azbee123 May 16, 2006	cute!!!
vlerma May 16, 2006	AS USUAL CDROCKS! Aha! I finally got one of these so either I'm getting better or it was an easy one. Either way I enjoyed this one very much. Keep them comin'.
FatHead May 16, 2006	Hm, I would've preferred that you say something like, Orange is sandwiched between Yellow and Purple, or Orange is right next to Yellow on one side and Purple on the other. I wasn't sure that's what you meant, but I guess it was!
Onslaught May 16, 2006	you don't understand what to do until you see the answer.i thought we were playing name that board game.
mcbidjcd May 16, 2006	DID NOT UNDERSTAND IT MORE EXPLANATION WILL BE APPRECIATED
lindquist_25 May 16, 2006	I could never get that! Good one, though!
spoiled_rotten May 16, 2006	enxt time for people who did not read the 1st or 2nd teazers you should explain hat you are supposed to do.
kman613 May 16, 2006	I didn't even understand the "directions" or know what I was shooting for... very confusing
aaks94 May 16, 2006	i liked this 1. i dot usually get these kind, but i got this 1
scr26 May 16, 2006	ok...u didnt even explain wat u were supposed 2 do!!! and the directions were a little vague! i guess it was good though! (wats the point bout havin 2 put away games quick?)
patpat553 May 16, 2006	OMG! MY BRAIN HURTS SO BAD!!!!!
AwwwSweet May 17, 2006	Great job on the teaser! I didn't have any trouble understanding it, though I can see how more instructions might have been useful. The hints were well thought out, though as soon as I figured out the location of red the puzzle was solved so it was pretty easy.
scallio May 17, 2006	Fairly easy, but unique. I understood we needed to put the colors in order, but didn't really "get" why. I don't read the hints. Thanks for a fun start to my day.
robodave May 17, 2006	A good teaser. I like ones that take me a couple minutes.
(user deleted) May 18, 2006	I REALLY LOVED THAT ONE
ripsawman May 18, 2006	Hey, Good One Took me a min. to figure out what I was doing with the colors
RRAMMOHAN May 21, 2006	Thanks for a nice, logical and interesting puzzle. Got it too! Please give us some more.
Musikman212 May 21, 2006	I'm not crazy about logic problems. I rarely take the time too actually sit and figure them out. I guess I'm too impatient. This was a good one though, even if I didn't finish it before looking at the answer.
peanut-tiara May 24, 2006	Thanks. I love logic puzzles.
booboobear Jul 06, 2006	My email said 5 things to put away. I was able to get the answer using 7. Most confusing.
cloughme May 16, 2007	Excellent!
craniac May 16, 2007	I had yellow and purple reversed. Knew they were wrong, but couldn't figure out how to fix it. Duh!
lmurray May 16, 2007	EVEN AS A RERUN THIS WAS FUN! XIEXIE NI!
anion May 16, 2007	I always enjoy logic teasers like this one. It makes me really use my brain in the morning. Great puzzle...Keep up the great work!!!
coolpainter May 16, 2007	Hah?
dancerrox1201 May 16, 2007	I got that one!!!!
TheMadKro May 16, 2007	My first reaction was HUH?!? But after reading through it became obvious and ended up being fairly easy! Made me think. Exactly what I'm looking for.
puttumup May 16, 2007	this teaser was not very good...there was no explanation on how to do it.after i saw the answer i realized you wanted them in order..so thumbs down
kitty728 May 16, 2007	Again, I need to read these things at least twice, and then whoo hoooooooo...... gottem all Love all the comments too, very COLORFUL!!!!! TEEHEE LOL L8TR G8TRS
rbasch May 16, 2007	The puzzle didn't need to list #2. #4 will imply #2 (though the reverse does not hold). Fairly easy. The one thing that should have been stated is that all of them are placed in a line or in a pile... I wonder if this can also be solved in 3 dimensions...
babycee May 16, 2007	great teaser. i got it right. needed scratch pad though. keep 'em coming.
Brock May 16, 2007	thats cool but i got it wrong
auntiesis May 16, 2007	Loved it last year, love it this year. I've done some logic problems that took all day to figure out, so this one was a breeze. Give us some more, please !
hradilv May 16, 2007	Very nice, and I got it!
rbs479 May 16, 2007	nice way to begin the day, jump start the brain. Not too hard, not too easy.
sunshine3 May 16, 2007	I think that I over-thought it. I was putting the colors in a box shape. I had some of the correct order...but didn't get it. Oh well. Maybe if I knew it was going in a line I would have gotten it. I liked it though.
mikes07 May 16, 2007	i thought it was an actual board game 7x7
asupmdr May 16, 2007	What's the question???
2ndhandrose May 16, 2007	I didn't understand the question correctly. It said something re part 2? I thought of Monopoly "Board Game" Place Blue Boardwalk & Park place cheaper purple & yellow properties etc. I tried The answer was a complete suprise. Not my thing I guess. Thanks anyway
2ndhandrose May 16, 2007	Sorry 2nd posting I should have read other comments. Others thought there were Other Parts also. & Mike I think also thought it was a board game. Don't feel so bad now Thanks
j9mattfield May 16, 2007	Best one yet...took more thought. I'm glad that I went back and did the first two before I did this one (helped me understand your thought process a bit better.) Looking forward to part four!
saxman May 16, 2007	I liked this -- I got the answer, but I wanted the colors to be in the order of resister numbering color code, and was disappointed when they weren't.
ModScorpio May 16, 2007	It was explained very well and I haven't seen your other ones. I started think along the line of board games like Trivia Pursuit, etc. trying to figure out what game has these colors.
I_Write_Books May 16, 2007	Super easy, but still really fun!
doehead May 16, 2007	Not worthy of a comment
SaxLuver927 May 16, 2007	i dont get this at all... doesnt make sense... very disappointed.
nerdyiscool May 16, 2007	yeah, fun sorta thing... I gave up... I 'm sad now.
jabdr May 16, 2007	I like this kind and enjoyed this one. I also like the new and improved IMurray. (though I wonder if puttemup might be an alias.........)
battle000111 May 16, 2007	i dont get wtf it was asking me to do. and i dont get it.
Trishgal May 16, 2007	Enjoyed it , it made me use my mind. looking forward to the next one
Brock May 16, 2007	thats cool
TheSmartest May 16, 2007	I got it! Took me some time(like 15 mins), but I got it! I am so proud of myself! Anyway, thanks for the awesome teaser, really liked it, hope to see more! Keep up the great work.
queenofkaroke May 17, 2007	awesome teaser but way too freakin easy got it in like 2 minutes n didn't even have to write nething down
grams60 May 17, 2007	This is a great teaser. I am not any good at logic puzzles. I guess I don't have a logical mind. But I like trying. So you keep sending them in. One day, I may answer one.
speedqueenkmw May 17, 2007	I couldn't figure out what the question was, let alone the answer
jcann May 18, 2007	This was just hard enough to be challenging and easy enough to be fun. I don't understand how the directions could have been any more plain.
Qrystal Jun 28, 2007	Yay, I love logic puzzles! and had fun doing this one. WTG!
sunnybonghits May 17, 2010	Very enjoyable teaser. Cheers
gaylewolf May 17, 2010	I loved it too! It's logical and I like this type of puzzle Thanks for a good job
gaylewolf May 17, 2010	I agree with jcann (back in 2007) who wrote: This was just hard enough to be challenging and easy enough to be fun. I don't understand how the directions could have been any more plain.
patiencewithaP May 17, 2010	Fun!
Dylan1069 May 17, 2010	Great teaser!
jcann May 17, 2010	Thanks, Gaylewolf! I forgot that I had done it before and just did it again and enjoyed it just as much. I made 7 short lines on my paper side by side and then started with bloue in the middle and the others just fell into place.
gaylewolf Jul 31, 2011	Well, here we are again! This type of quiz can be repeated, because you have to do it all over again - can't be memorized! I love this type of puzzle.
gaylewolf Jan 31, 2012	Still love it! Thanks!
Babe May 17, 2013	I never get these ans so I do not like them. My brain just gives out about half way through and I quit! Sorry!
HABS2933 May 17, 2013	I rather enjoy logic and logic grid puzzles. Unlike some of the riddle type, there is no way to solve these without working them all the way through, but if you take the time to sit and figure it out, they are always doable. This one was the perfect difficulty level to do at 5am! Anything harder and I would have to put it aside for later.
cutebug May 17, 2013	Wornout and overused easy teaser.
auntiesis May 17, 2013	Loved it just as much this time as I did back in '06. Logic puzzles are one of my faves. Thanks for the repeat.
