Stuck in a puzzle with Q-Team

[Demitro]

The specimens in Radical-6 fragment. I have the capsules. The monitor is displaying what they are reffering and still no clue which irder is correct.

Yeah, I still don't understand that puzzle.

The biolab i suppose?
You have a plant specimen, a bird specimen, an insect specimen, a human specimen and a fish specimen. Each one si associated with a color on the monitor. The pills tell you in which order to place them from left to right, since you cannot move the insect specimen.

[venkyru]

The yellow pills make a one, the blue a three, etc

[Demitro]

How do you reach the conclusion that 5 pills of yelow make one in order?

[venkyru]

Because the way the pills are placed it looks like a 1, the pink like a 2, blue like a 3 and red a 5. A bit like the numbers on a digital clock.

[Demitro]

[venkyru]

Correct order : penguin, seahorse, human, butterfly, root

This stumped me for a good 20-30 minutes yesterday before I had that " eureka!" moment and saw the numbers. Getting stumped was frustrating, but that moment... Satisfying.
