---------The Puzzle--------

Polar Bear and four fellow rocketeers decided to spend the day shooting homemade rockets into the air using their new Air Cannon. Each rocketeer chose a different colored rocket (blue, red, yellow, orange, or pink) and each shot their rocket off at a different angle (15, 30, 45, 60, or 80 degrees). The longest horizontal distance that any rocket traveled was 200 feet.

For the purposes of this puzzle, assume that all variables, weights, pressures, gravitational pull, atmospheric conditions, etc., for each launch, are ideal and constant.



Clue 1. Monkey’s rocket, which is not Yellow, went the same distance as the Yellow rocket.

Clue 2. Cow’s rocket went farther than Bunny’s rocket which went farther than the Red rocket.

Clue 3. Cow’s rocket went farther than the Orange rocket which went farther than the rocket set off at a 15° angle.

Clue 4. The Bunny’s rocket was set off at a smaller angle than the Orange rocket's angle.

Clue 5. (See picture below)



Clue 6. (See picture below)
