Some playing cards are being divided into two piles according to a certain rule.

Pile A has

A♥ A♣ 7♥ 9♠ 3♣ 

while Pile B has

A♦ 8♦ 4♠ K♣ 10♥ 

In which pile should the Q♥ be placed according to that rule?

It goes in Pile A

In cribbage pile A would be a hand worth 4 points (and you could give the 7 and 9 to the crib)

Pile B is already worth 4 points (even if you added the Q to the pile you would still have 4 after giving your two to the crib)
