Hint
This teaser is very easy if you draw a diagram.Answer
The order was Square, Circle, Triangle, Diamond, Wavy Lines.Clue 1: We know now that the Square and Diamond are 3 cards apart, so the Square must fall 1st or 2nd and the Diamond 4th or last.
2.The Wavy Lines are to the Diamond's right, so the Diamond falls 4th leaving the Square at 1st.
3.This is just a hint to let you know the Square was 1st.
4.The Circle wasn't to the side of the Diamond, so it had to fall 2nd, next to the Square.
5. The Triangle wasn't 1st, so it had to fit in the last place not taken, 3rd, or to the left of the Diamond.
