Treasure Island

Blind Pugh was after hidden treasure, just like the rest of his shipmates, but could not see the map of Treasure Island. However, his hearing was shipshape, and he intended to locate the treasure from what he overheard and get there before the others. The island was divided into a 4x4 grid of equal squares, each square having a unique color. He had heard the following facts :

(1) The blue square was one square horizontally to the left of the pink square.

(2) The orange was one to the right of and one above the white.

(3) The red was one square vertically above the purple.

(4) The lavender was one square horizontally to the left of the indigo.

(5) The brown was one vertically below the green.

(6) The purple was one horizontally to the left of the gray.

(7) The violet was two horizontally to the right of the yellow.

(8) The indigo was one vertically above the white.

(9) The turquoise was two below and one to the right of the red.

(10)The crimson was one to the right of and one below the green.

Where was the gold?

	Ahaaaa! Finally. I cheated...! This can be done easily with coloured squares and one hand, even without brain. We can get 5 different 'tetris' shapes from the question. There's one square between Violet & Yellow. The Game is to form 4x4 squares with one empty square. Since there are only 4 possible squares for Lavender,(if you fit it with Red) Blind Pugh couldve tried all the 4 without looking. Heheh The GOLD!!! Its there on the left bottom.
