The answer is 22 because it could be any one 
of these 22 cards:

A♦   2♦   3♦   4♦   5♦   6♦   7♦   8♦  9♦  10♦  J♦  Q♦  K♦
                                                J♠  Q♠  K♠  
                                                J♣  Q♣  K♣

out of these 52 cards total: 



A♥   2♥   3♥   4♥   5♥   6♥   7♥   8♥  9♥  10♥  J♥  Q♥  K♥
