US Version

It's your job to paint a pyramid built from 21 circular pieces of wood. You've been given three colors to work with: red, blue, and yellow.

Before you get too creative, however, there's one important rule you need to follow: no two pieces of wood next to each other can be the same color.

One piece has already been painted red. If you follow the rule and finish painted the entire pyramid, what color will piece A be? Circle the correct colored paint can.
