Trapdoors

There are five doors, one leads to the exit, the others lead to traps. They are in a line. The clues tell you which position the doors are in the line and where the door to freedom is. All the clues are true. Each door has a clue written on it. The clues read:

The blue door: This door is two spots away from the door to freedom.
The red door: This door is at the far right, and is two spots away from the blue door.
The purple door: This door is not next to the door to freedom.
The green door: This door is left of the blue door.
The orange door: This door is not next to the red or blue doors.

Which door leads to freedom?

  1. The red door is on the far right, forces the blue door to be in the center, the green door is on the left of the blue, the orange cannot be next to the red or the blue, therefore it's beside the green, leaving purple. The purple cancels out red being the door, and the blue is two away from the freedom door. Two away from blue = red and orange. Therefore, orange.
