Green door's clue: This door is three spaces from the colour made by mixing red and blue. It's farther left than the red door.

Blue door's clue: This door is directly right of the purple door.

Yellow door's clue: This door is farther right than the red door but left of the purple door.

Purple door's clue: This door is four spots away from the brown door.

Chinchilla Feb 18, 2005	Should the brown door have 4 spaces between it and the purple door according to clue 5?
chuckelect Feb 18, 2005	your trap door teasers are great! keep them coming!
rydell Feb 18, 2005	I wasn't sure if it was Blue or Brown then last two clues are sort of ambiguous
ben2 Feb 18, 2005	i randomly guessed and i got it right good teaser
castanz Feb 18, 2005	When I see "Green door's clue: This door is two spaces from the colour made by mixing red and blue", I interpret this as one space between Green and purple. Does anyone else interpret it this way?
castanz Feb 18, 2005	Chinchilla and I speak the same way (I think?)
cdrock Feb 18, 2005	I feel the same way, but i still figured it out. Cant wait tell #4.
Mysterious Feb 18, 2005	This was a fun teaser but a little inconsistent. If you count your spaces in the following clues, there are two standards of counting used. The green door clue uses a different standard of counting than the red door clue and purple door clue. This makes the order of doors different for the answer and the clue about the orange door not being the door to freedom useless. In need of a little correction but overall good. The blue door still remains the door to freedom. See for yourself in the clues copied from the teaser. Red door's clue: This door is in the middle. Is three spots away from the door to freedom. Green door's clue: This door is two spaces from the colour made by mixing red and blue. Is farther left than the red door. Purple door's clue: This door is four spots away from the brown door. Answer: Orange, Brown, Green, Red, Yellow, Purple, Blue.
Therulerofthem Feb 19, 2005	I noticed the error in my teaser and I have already submitted it for correction
Punk_Rocker Feb 26, 2005	Ummm...Yeah the "spaces" thing was a little off...So I didn't like it. It would have been good if it was possible...
froggygg Mar 02, 2005	The green door clue didn't work out for me. I had the green and the orange doors switched but had all the other doors in correct places. When I counted 2 doors from purple to the left it kept putting me in the red spot unless I went the other way which would be where the oranage door is supposed to be but to the left of the red door. Didn't compute to me.
katsue Mar 08, 2005	it took me awhile to figure it out, i also had a hard time with the spaces thing, but knew that orange had to be on end to make it work, but i somehow managed to get it right. i luv deduction probs...keep 'em coming!
runscapekiller Mar 13, 2005	im liking ur trapdoors i would like a 4th 1
Sparklegirl Mar 13, 2005	That was cool! A little cofusing, but fun!
runscapekiller Mar 13, 2005	plz make a trapdoors 4
Therulerofthem Mar 13, 2005	okay, for the constant like of my trapdoors teasers, I'm making a fourth (which I wasn't planning on)
mefreakdancer1 Mar 16, 2005	your 3 door was my first and i liked it alot probably causei guessed right but iam glad to see a fourth
nardhelain Mar 17, 2005	Nice work; I like your trapdoor series. Keep them coming!
CHUCKLZ Mar 17, 2005	LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE...Don't know if it because I get them right but I sure do love this kind of teaser...my favorites!!!!!
sueintexas Apr 27, 2005	Okay the spacing thing was off, and it made it a little hard to get but still got it right. Good job
JCDuncan May 28, 2005	The clues worked just fine for me. I figured it out with no problem. This one is even better than the last, but I do think that the clue about the orange door not being it gave away the position of the orange door too easily. I still like this one alot though.
metallicman Jan 02, 2006	This was great. The first two just led up to this one, which was hardest and best. good job.
annie_hp_fan Mar 07, 2006	I was very confused.
Methlos Mar 12, 2006	i'm free... i hope
princess2007 Feb 23, 2013	I don't know. I thought the others were harder. This was just a little too easy. Like 23 second easy. Or maybe I'm just getting better at these... Keep 'em comin!
