Which card is sure to win the first trick?
Answer
The K
. The 7 on your opponent’s pile makes them follow Spades, and no Spade beats a King. The 4 on their pile makes them follow Hearts too, but you saw the K go into their hand, and it beats your Q. The XXI loses to the Skus, which you have not seen, and the K
loses to a Tarok if they hold no Club.
