Ok, I have 4 cards laid out in front of me the cards have these symbols on them [A] [K] [2] [7] Now, the reverse of the cards also contain these symbols but maybe not the match the front...
And so, If i were to tell you that the card with A on it had a 2 on the reverse, what two cards would you need to turn over to prove me correct???

This is a little harder than my last two puzzles. Think logically, and illogically, to solve this little nugget, and win some points!!

OK, you are all obviously struggling, heres a clue.... In order to prove my theory correct, you must prove any other theory incorrect.

There is definitely something wrong with the wording of the puzzle, because you can just turn over the [A] card. Anyways, I doubt your problem is that easy. I'm guess that you're talking about the reverse of both Aces.
Since each card card will have only a number and a letter, there are only 4 possibilities:
1)
Front: [A] [K] [2] [7]
Back: [2] [7] [A] [K]
2)
Front: [A] [K] [2] [7]
Back: [7] [2] [A] [K]
3)
Front: [A] [K] [2] [7]
Back: [2] [7] [K] [A]
4)
Front: [A] [K] [2] [7]
Back: [7] [2] [K] [A]
Since there are actually 2 Aces, you could play a trick question and flip over the other ace as well. So even if there is a 2 behind the [A], there might be another Ace behind the [2]. The easy way is to flip over the [A] and the [2].
However, you can do it 3 other ways. By flipping over exactly 1 face card (A or K) and 1 numbered card (2 or 7), you can determine exactly what's behind all four cards.
For example, if you flip over the [7] and the [A]:
If a 7 is behind the [A], then the 2 is behind the [K], and vice versa. If the A is behind the [7], then the K is behind the [2], and vice versa.
Once the combination is found, you will know if either 2 is paired with either Ace. (If they are randomly sorted, the probability will be 3 out of 4).

I think there must be something wrong with the wording of this question. Surely you only need to turn over one card (the 'A'). If there is a 2 on the other side, the statement is correct. If not, it is incorrect. This doesn't determine where the 2 is but the question doesn't ask for that.

Sorry I don't get it. Can you explain this a bit clearer like in blonde terms. I only understand blonde my english is not so good.
.... so theres a A, K, 2, 7
and the same on the back. If the A is 2 then....
ummm that leaves K, 2 and 7.
It must be K and 7 :)

Just turn over the A. Then we would know that you were correct or incorrect. Now, to figure out where the 2 is. Hmmmm...
