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.

My solution is different thatn the posted answer yet it seems to meet all the conditions. If I've missed something please let me know. If not, there seems to be more than one correct solution.

My answer:

King of spades, two of hearts, Queen of Hearts

Immediately to the right of the king ther is a two. (condition 1)

Immediately to the left of the a queen there is a two. (condition 2)

Immediately to the left of a heart there is a spade (2 of hearts) and a two (queen of hearts). (condition 3)
