Conundrum: Poker Game
Tuesday, November 6th, 2007Four poker friends played a hand of five-card stud. Each player was dealt one hole card face down, and then four additional cards face up. The cards were dealt, as in standard poker, one at a time around the table, from one regular poker deck. However, instead of betting each round, they decided to deal all twenty cards out in the beginning, and let winner take all!
1. As it turned out, any two consecutive cards dealt in this hand were either different color cards of the same rank or were consecutive ranks of the same suit, considering Aces as high cards only.
2. At least three of the four hole cards were Queens.
3. The last card dealt was a Heart.
4. At least one player was dealt more than one Ten. Nobody was ever dealt a Nine.
5. No Diamond was ever dealt immediately before or after a Spade.
6. Ron was dealt no Clubs, Lenny was dealt no Kings, Nick was dealt at least one Jack, and Frank’s hole card was a Spade.
Who won, and with what hand?
