Three playing cards, removed from an ordinary deck, lie face down in a horizontal row.
Immediately to the right of the King there's a Queen or two.
Immediately to the left of a Queen there's a Queen or two.
Immediately to the left of a Heart there's a Spade or two.
Immediately to the right of a Spade there's a Spade or two.
Name the three cards in order.

If you look at my previous response, you will see that I already noted the difference in capitalization, but that is more of an aesthetic difference than one that would definitively change the meaning of the word. Also, Ravi, I have found that your grammar (capitilazation, puncuation, etc) is often heavy-handed and yields something that is either incorrect or something you did not intend. Actually, none of the words 'king,' 'queen,' 'heart,' or 'spade' need be capitalized for this problem.
So, while it is probably obvious that you did not intend the 'or two' to mean the possibility of the middle card being a deuce, merely not capitalizing the word in no way eliminates it.
A wording such as Gamer suggested would still have the necessary ambiguity I mentioned in my first comment, but without the 'loophole' Trevor noticed.
