Yes, Brianjn, Lisa solution are correct. We canīt be sure what are the cards 7 & 8; all that we know is that they are an Ace and a Jack, that is, card number 7 can be an Ace (so card number 8 would be a Jack), or card number 7 can be a Jack (so card number 8 would be an Ace).

In short, we can only be certain about cards 1-6.
