Ingrid is driving the sedan. The green car is immediately behind the white car. The minivan is third in line. Rachel is driving the first car in line. Anton is just behind the driver in the SUV. Yuna is driving the green car. The driver in the yellow car is just in front of the convertible. Rachel is just in front of the blue car. The sedan is white. One of the cars is a pickup truck. Who is driving the pickup truck?

I'd have to draw this out ._.

hero (hero):

Whoever solves this has to show/demonstrate/explain the method they used to solve it.

hero (hero):

I want more than 'just the answer'.

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

;-; unlike the other one?

OpenStudy (guoalice8):

how is Rachel first and behind another car?

OpenStudy (guoalice8):

nevermind

hero (hero):

@AceSpeedFighter I know how you arrived at the answer in the last one so what you presented was good enough.

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

Well, just doing the math was hard the numbers are complex ;-;

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

trying to get 24 isnt that easy unless you think outside the box

hero (hero):

Which you did. Great job.

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

thx :)

OpenStudy (guoalice8):

its not Ingrid or Rachel am i right i just want to be on the right track

hero (hero):

You're not allowed to ask. Once you have your full final answer (with explanation) & present with confidence. It could be ANY of them.

OpenStudy (dramaqueen1201):

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

Hero bump the question up.

OpenStudy (guoalice8):

the red pickup truck is driven by Yuna @Hero

hero (hero):

Yuna is correct.

OpenStudy (guoalice8):

(explanation) The white car is 4th in line and is a sedan, the sedan belong's to Ingrid the red car is a min van and belongs to Diego it is third in line The first car is Rachel's and is a yellow SUV the second car is blue and is a convertible and it is driven by Anton

hero (hero):

Correct

hero (hero):

You still did not explain the specific method you used. What strategy did you use to organize all this information?

OpenStudy (guoalice8):

i just did process of elimination i organized the info in the question and found out who drove what, the order and what color then the one that didn't have a type of car i just assume that it is the pickup truck

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

How do you become a "Qualified Helper"?

hero (hero):

@guoalice8 I'm going to post what you should have posted. Then we can discuss from there.

OpenStudy (guoalice8):

hero (hero):

btw @guoalice8, the vehicle Yuna drove was GREEN, not red.
