Just read the puzzle.</p>
<p>As perceived by the author&#8230;<br />
Difficulty: 3.5/10<br />
Target time (after reading): 2:30</p>
<p><em>Sky has recently gotten <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_52-card_deck#Rank_and_color">a deck of playing cards</a>; why only now, I don&#8217;t know. But he is definitely fascinated with it, although there might be not many people that can play. (Flygrass Town is a bit weird.) He is particularly attracted by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poker_hands">Poker hands</a>.<br />
Anyway, he even managed to construct a puzzle involving Poker hands. Let&#8217;s see if you&#8217;re as addicted as him&#8230;</em></p>
<p>0. Familiarize yourself with playing cards and Poker hands as linked above.<br />
1. There are 30 cards used to form 6 Poker hands. These 30 cards are all cards from Eights to Aces (89TJQKA), and the Seven of Spade and Seven of Heart.<br />
2. The resulting Poker hands are a Straight, a Flush, a Full House, a Four of a Kind, a Non-Royal Straight Flush, and a Royal Flush.<br />
3. Both the Flush and the Straight Flush are composed of only red cards.<br />
4. The Straight is composed of only black cards.<br />
5. The Full House doesn&#8217;t contain Spades.</p>
<p>What are the hands?</p>
<p>So it occurred to me that it&#8217;s Puzzle 52. There are 52 cards in a regular French deck, so&#8230;</p>
<p>Also this is made without writing anything down (everything is composed inside my head). Darn I need to be careful with cases; this is version 3.</p>
