Closing the loop: Solution to last week's puzzle

[rhu]

For those who still care about last week's puzzle, the mechanism is to look at the numerical value of each card and use it as an index into the suit:

1 of CLUBS      is C
3 of DIAMONDS   is A
4 of HEARTS     is R
7 of DIAMONDS   is D
1 of SPADES     is S

which spells "CARDS" --- and since that's what's shown in the picture, you'd have some sort of confirmation that the answer is correct.
