I... definitely can't solve this.

I got this in my email from someone in camp, I think? )

Well, first of all you can throw answer 'G' right out.

Huh? Why?

It has four clubs, and only two hearts. The right answer will have three of each suit.

... hey, you're right! Wow, that's really good thinking. I could never have got that.

It's the universal rule of multiple choice questions; there's always going to be at least one throw-away answer if you look for it.

Can you figure out anything else?

I'm chipping away at it but unfortunately my player sucks a lot more at puzzles than I do. I'm a lot more used to really wordy riddles, but it's always nice to take time working on any type of puzzle that wasn't set up by an insane person.

... I'm not really sure it wasn't from an insane person, but I get what you mean.

No, just pictures of hearts, clubs, and diamonds isn't enough to be insane. Insane is the riddle I had to solve once where the first real clue to the answer was a description of the narrator gouging out the eye of some girl he was obsessed with.

...Of course, it didn't help that I was being chased around by a stalker when I had to work through that one.

So you can see how this is a major improvement.

Just -- just a bit, yeah.

Wow. I'm sorry.

It's not something you need to be sorry about. That part's a weird memory, not so much a bad one.

Still... but you've been in camp a while, right? Just about as long as me?

Yeah. Three years, and getting close to a half. The crazy riddles were from outside it, though.

So at least you got a well-earned vacation out of it, even if it is camp.
