Here are the rules:

"Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, and Orange tiles have been placed face down above. They have been arranged so that no row, column. or corner-to-corner diagonal contains two tiles of the same color. Four tiles have been revealed. What is the complete layout?" (Dedopulos, 88)

Think about where the red goes in the bottom row.

Spoiler for HINT:

After that, think about where the yellow goes in the bottom row.

Spoiler for HINT:

After that, think about where the blue goes in the top left to bottom right diagonal.

ps sorry for copying puzzles. i searched for mow* and didnt find anything (i didnt know it was already posted as scything) and i looked up poison and found mostly mafia games and murder mysteries.

i took this puzzle right out of the book: Rubik's Puzzles: The Ultimate Brain Teaser Book
