Yes
The one you did after the one you did before this one, IS this one. In other words: “…The teaser you solved after you solved the teaser you solved before this one” IS this one.
The question could be rephrased this way:
“If the teaser you solved before this one was harder than THIS ONE, was the teaser you solved before this one harder than THIS ONE?”. The answer is obviously “Yes”, that wasn’t so hard, now was it?

Answer Seven: Menacing Matchsticks
Original Problem

Assuming that the matchsticks are upright (forming an 8), take the upper-right match and place it horizontally above the 8.
Next, take the match on the lower-left of what now looks like a 6, and place it vertically just above the match you last put down.
What you should have is 1/5, or .200 . Ellipses only consist of three points, not four. In other words, I asked you for .200, not 200.
