Can You Solve the Pick-up Sticks Puzzle?

In a game of pick-up sticks, the idea is to remove sticks from a pile, one at a time, without causing any of the other sticks to move. To do so, you have to figure out which sticks don’t have any on top of them, and then be agile enough to remove them as gently as possible.

This puzzle asks you which stick is the 6th from the top — in other words, which stick you would remove sixth.

Going in order from the top, you get:

8. Black

So, the answer is green. Did you get it right?
