Someone took the prize money at the school's casino night fundraiser. Lou says he was playing cards.
Lou says“I was at the blackjack table all evening. On my last hand I had a 10, drew the 11 of spades to hit 21, and cashed out.”
How did the principal know Lou was lying?
Hint: Picture a deck of cards.
Answer
There's no 11 of spades in a deck of cards.
A standard deck runs ace, 2 through 10, jack, queen, king. An ace can count as 11, but no card is an 11.
Did you get it?
Nice work. On to the next one.
Got you this time. Try the next one.
