Three card trick
On your travels you come to an old man on the side of the road holding three cards from a standard deck face down. Trying to make conversation you ask him what the three cards are. He tells you, "To the left of a queen, are one or two jacks. To the right of a jack, are one or two jacks. To the right of a club, are one or two diamonds. To the left of a diamond, are one or two diamonds". What are the three cards?
Use your skills to interpret the above to arrive at a unique answer.
I rate this one as easy. I'm only posting it to give Zaux a break.
