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.

How does the problem 'imply that there is just one possible answer'? Simply in asking us to name the cards? Pretty weak if you ask me...
Obviously, since every statement ends in 'or two,' the middle card could be a two of any suit. That doesn't preclude the possiblity.
