Blimey. This bit is hardcore:

    Person: DOES THE SHORTEST THING THE TALLEST PYRAMID'S SUPPORT SUPPORTS SUPPORT ANYTHING GREEN? 
    Computer: YES, THE GREEN PYRAMID. 
    Person: WHAT COLOR IS IT? 
    Computer: BY "IT", I ASSUME YOU MEAN THE SHORTEST THING THE TALLEST PYRAMID'S SUPPORT SUPPORTS. 
    Computer: RED
I got confused by the instruction. That's ...it's hardcore.
