Five blocks have been placed side by side on a table. Their colors are red, black, green, white and blue. You’re given the following information about the order of the blocks.
1) The black block is between the blue block and the white block.
2) The red block is not first and the white block is not last.
3) The green block is separated from the white block by two blocks.
What is the position of the red block?
And, if the red block is not next to the green block, what is the order from first to last (left to right) of the five blocks?
Leave your answers in the comments below. I’d love to see them!
