We found 2 solutions to this problem.
We used trial and improvement to find solutions. Some of us didn't manage to find a solution, but we worked hard on changing the order of the cards.
Our two solutions were:
8, 7, 13, 10, 6, 12, 9
6, 9, 11, 12, 4, 14, 7
Oliver also spotted that the numbers in the third, fourth and the sixth positions were two digit numbers.
We also spotted that the sets of numbers in our solution have a difference of 2.
The total of both lines have a difference of 2.
We also spotted a pattern in odd and even numbers in our solutions.
