Here's a quick puzzle to get your mental mechanics going.
You are shown four cards. You know that each card definitely has a letter on one side and a number on the other.
However, somebody you don't trust also tells you that if any of these cards has a D on one side, it also has a 3 on the other.
The four cards show: F 3 D 7
What is the least number of cards you would need to turn over to find out whether you were being told the truth, and which ones are they?
Think carefully - don't rush your answer! Once you've worked it out, there's an interactive tester below to check your solution.
