6 Acorns
6 acorns there, have a look
3 from them my mother took.
2 were yellow, 1 was blue,
The other 3 I didn't think, just threw.
But when I was older one day
home I came to have a stay.
To my surprise there they were
all 6 of them, there they are.
The 3 I threw were colored red
But in my delight came some dread,
they weren't in proper line I'd had.
Let's give them names to make it easier.
Name Color Size
A = Yellow = Small
B = Red = Small
C = Blue = Medium
D = Red = Medium
E = Yellow = Medium
F = Red = Large
I'll give clues for you to find the answer
1)The smallest is always found between two mediums.
2)The order starts and finishes with a red colored acorn.
3)The blue acorn can be found in the 4th position.
4)Red is not found beside its own.
What order are they in?
