Video Summary

Number five. Finn has five pencils. The shortest one is blue. The green and red pencils are the same length. The purple pencil is shorter than the yellow one. Which pencil is the purple one? Feel free to pause and try to solve it yourself. Okay, so for this one our first hint is that the shortest pencil is blue. So we can see that the shortest pencil is this one over here. So that means that this pencil is blue. Next we can see that the green and red pencils are the same length and we can see that pencils B and D over here are the same length. Now we don't know which one is green and which one is red, but it doesn't really matter. We can just label one of them red and the other one green. And even if maybe it's actually B that's green and D that's red, it doesn't really matter, excuse me, because we only care about which one the purple one is. Then lastly we have that the purple pencil is shorter than the yellow one. So of the two pencils that are left we have A and C. A is the shorter one, C is the taller one, so that means that C is the yellow one. And then last but not least the purple one is A. So the correct answer for this question is option A.
