The front side has an &#8216;A&#8217; or a &#8216;B&#8217; on it. The back has a &#8216;1&#8217; or a &#8216;2&#8217; on it. As you can see, two cards show their front side, and the other two cards show their back side.<br />
A friend of mine thinks that on the back of every card with a &#8216;B&#8217; there is a &#8216;2&#8217;.<br />
Which card(s) do you turn to test his hypothesis?</p>

<p>This is not an original problem, and the source is unknown to me. I guess it is from somewhere in the twentieth century. I was recently reminded of it when thumbing through James Fixx &#8220;More games for the superintelligent&#8221;, a mensa publication. I hope to get back to this puzzle in a later post.</p>
