Theres an ongoing thing between a few of us where we try to test eachother via email.
I was sent this puzzle and had to give up in the end. I was given the answer but still dont get it!! Anyone on here care to work it out and explain? you have 3 cards in a row ,name the order they are a spade diamond and a heart the queen is to the right of the spade and the six is opposite the ace and the ace is to the left of the six. |

Ace of Spades, Queen (suit isn't relevant), Six (suit isn't relevant.)
Ace is left of the six and opposite it, so it must be the left-most card and the six must be the right-most card. |

Surely opposite isn't the right word??? It doesn't make sense.
Ace of Spades, Queen of Banana, Six naked Monkeys??

Are you sure they got the question right? Usually when I've seen this sort of thing, they've relied on some trick based on people's perception/assumption that an ace must always be a spade, or vice versa, because of the famousness of "the ace of spades" as a particular card. Of course, it can actually be any suit (ace of diamonds, for example). The following: "you have 3 cards in a row ,name the order they are a spade diamond and a heart the queen is to the left of the spade and the six is opposite the ace and the ace is to the left of the six." with the solution: Ace of diamonds, Queen of hearts, Six of Spades each card would have specific suits for each card and be a better puzzle. You could further complicate it by making the queen a suit other than hearts (although less famous than the ace of spade, "Queen of Hearts" is an assumption most people's brains will jump to). EDIT: PM me the answer he sent if you like and I'll try and make sense of it. |
