Three cards from an ordinary deck lie face down in a row. From the following information, see if you can deduce what each card is. (Note: "to the left" means somewhere to the left, i.e. one or two cards over. If we make the same agreement for "to the right" then there are two solutions.)
-
To the left of a Queen is a Jack,
-
To the left of a Spade is a Diamond,
-
To the right of a Heart is a Diamond,
-
To the right of a King is a Spade.
Solution
From left to right: the Jack of Hearts, the King of Diamonds, the Queen of Spades. Or: King of Hearts, Jack of Diamonds, Queen of Spades.
