• No matter which four cards are picked, at least two of them contains an identical entry.
• There are at most three people in the group having the same name. (ie. There may be 3 people named A, 3 people named B but there cannot be 4 people named C).
• There are at most three people in the group having the same surname.
• There are at most three people in the group having the same age.
• There are at most three people in the group having the same birthplace.
