Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. How many face cards are in a standard deck?

Answer: 12

The King, Queen, and Jack of each suit are counted. Aces don't count as face cards.
2. How many one-eyed Jacks are there in a deck?

Answer: 2

The Jack of Spades and Jack of Hearts are both facing sideways, and are nicknamed one-eyed jacks since only one eye is visible.
3. If I were talking about a Suicide King, which king am I referring to?

Answer: King of Hearts

The King of Hearts is depicted with a sword by his head that makes it look like he's stabbing himself in the head with it, hence the nickname.
4. Which is the only Queen in the deck that faces to the right?

Answer: Queen of Spades

This is an interesting occurrence in a card deck. Perhaps it has something to do with the Queen of Spades being the "old maid" of the deck? Just something to ponder.
5. What is unique about the King of Diamonds?

Answer: Both of these

He is holding an axe and facing sideways. Strange, huh?
6. Which of the face cards are the only ones whose hair is colored?

Answer: Jacks

The Jacks have yellow hair, while the other two suits have white hair.
7. What is unique about the Jack of Clubs?

Answer: It is the only Jack with a feather in its cap

Just another weird little quirk about a card deck. The jack of diamonds is also mustache-less, so this is not a unique feature of the clubs one.
8. Here's a tricky one for you. How many eyes on face cards are in a standard 52 card deck?

Answer: 42

All face cards have two eyes, save the Jacks of Spades & Hearts, and the King of Diamonds. 2 X 12 = 24 then, 24 - 3 = 21. Each card has two faces, so 21 X 2 = 42. Simple, right?
9. Which two Queens have the color blue on their crowns?

Answer: Diamonds and Hearts

The two red-suited Queens both have blue and yellow crowns, while the black-suited Queens have black and yellow crowns.
10. Which King has both hands showing?

Answer: King of Hearts

He has one on his sword, and one on his stomach. (He's probably grabbing himself in pain from jamming that sword in his noggin'!)
I hope that after you've taken my quiz, you won't look at cards the same way again!
