This question is not easy. You have to make up some sort of numbering system to it.
red blue green green1 yellow purple
1.......2.......3...........4............5...........6 and then it repeats.
So the first step is to figure out what the 16th color was. We will need real help if it is green or green one. Unfortunately, I think it was. The 12th one was purple.
13 = red
14 = blue
15 = green
16 = green 1
The new 16th one is blue. So we have to find out what will make the 16th one blue. There are still six colors The new fourth one has to be blue. You have to start with yellow
yellow purple red blue green green1.
1.......2.......3...........4............5...........6
Enough loops were cut off so that the new starting point is yellow. That would mean we cut off red blue green green 1
We need the closest number to 51 that is divisible by 6. That would be 48. There will be 3 loops left over. The new 48th loop will be green1 (see above)
The 49th loop will be yellow
The 50th loop will be purple
The 51st loop will be RED <<<<< Answer
