This puzzle tests your powers of deduction. The five cards shown below were turned face down, shuffled, and put in a pile, one on top of another. Using the information given in the clues, see if you can identify each card’s position in the pile.
CLUES
- Two black cards are adjacent.
- A diamond is immediately above the king.
- The spade is above exactly one club.
- The 10 is below the 7, but above the ace.
- The king is not the fourth card.
Here’s one ordering that works, starting at the bottom of the pile: K, A, 10, 6, 7.
Did you find another one that works?
