Five Card Trick Puzzle - Solution
The Puzzle:
Our Solution:I was thinking of one of the five cards in the picture. You had to try to find out which one I was thinking of. It was the TWO OF HEARTS.
This is how to find out from the clues:
i) The value of my card is a prime number.
So it could have been 7C or 7D or 2H.
ii) The values of my two neighbours add up to a multiple of 3.
So it could have been 7D or 2H.
iii) My card is next to a card which is next to the 2 of hearts.
So it could only have been 2H.
