Playing Cards
You are holding some playing cards, you have 1 queen, 2 diamonds, 3 aces and 4 spades. What is the minimum amount of cards you could have if no card is repeated?
Answer
Seven. You have 2 diamonds and 4 spades, giving you at least 6 altogether. The queen can be either of those 2 suits, but as there are 3 aces, 1 has to come from a different suit, giving you a 7th card.Hide Answer Show Answer
