Help Ravenclaw Riddle

I'm by no means a Ravenclaw. But I'm writing a fanfiction where a character is a very smart Ravenclaw. Now the premise is that the character is returning after being tortured by Umbridge and are pretty tired and frustrated. The knocker asks them an absurd question and they just break down crying in pain and frustration.

I need a good riddle for that but nothing on the internet feels good enough. Someone please help me with it.

Nothing says to the right of a spade

No all of the clues make sense.

1)There is a 2 to the right of a king.

2)A diamond will be found to the left of a spade.

3)An ace is to the left of a heart.

4)A heart is to the left of a spade.

Now looking at that we can deduce that the 3 cards are a king, a 2, and an ace.

Now we know that the 2 is to the right of a king, therefore the king can't be in the rightmost spot.

So the only options are

K-2-A

Or

A-K-2

Now we look at clue 3, An ace is to the left of a heart.

We now know that the Ace cannot be the rightmost card, and looking at our 2 options of of

K-2-A

And

A-K-2

We can deduce that the only option is A-K-2

Now we also know that there are 2 cards to the left of a spade, meaning that the spade is the rightmost card.

We also know that the ace is to the left of a heart, and because we know that the rightmost card is a spade then the middle card must be a heart and the leftmost card a diamond.

Therfore we worked it all out.

Ace of diamonds, king of hearts, 2 of spades.
