6 boxes P,Q,R,S,T,U in a stack with colours red/yellow/black/white/green/violet. 1 between P and Yellow. Red immediately below Yellow. 1 between Red and Q. Same boxes above White as below S (S below white). Green immediately above Violet, immediately below T. 3 between U and Black. Q≠Violet. How many boxes between Red and S?
- Three
- One
- Two

Correct answer: Two
Solution
From constraints: Red immediately below Yellow (Red=Yellow+1 position from top). Working through all constraints: Red and S are separated by two boxes in the final stack arrangement.
