You can put this solution on YOUR website!
AND means you've got to have both present at the same time
\n" ); document.write( "If you've got \"diamond AND 5\" you ca't have a diamond in one
\n" ); document.write( "place and then go look for a 5 somewhere else.
\n" ); document.write( "Where is the diamond AND 5 present? The 5 of diamonds is the only place
\n" ); document.write( "diamond AND 5 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "OR means I can have what I need somewhere and then go look
\n" ); document.write( "somewhere else for the other thing, because I can use either one
\n" ); document.write( "\"ACE OR SPADE\" means any ACE will do and any SPADE will do
\n" ); document.write( "There are 4 aces:
\n" ); document.write( "A-Diamonds
\n" ); document.write( "A-spades
\n" ); document.write( "A-hearts
\n" ); document.write( "A-clubs
\n" ); document.write( "There are 13 SPADES
\n" ); document.write( "A-spades
\n" ); document.write( "K-spades
\n" ); document.write( "Q-spades
\n" ); document.write( "J-spades
\n" ); document.write( "10-spades
\n" ); document.write( "9-spades
\n" ); document.write( "8-spades
\n" ); document.write( "7-spades
\n" ); document.write( "6-spades
\n" ); document.write( "5-spades
\n" ); document.write( "4-spades
\n" ); document.write( "3-spades
\n" ); document.write( "2-spades
\n" ); document.write( "I would have 17 in all, but notice A-spades is counted twice.
\n" ); document.write( "So ACE OR SPADE = 16
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
