I'm hoping this puzzle was just poorly translated.

Well, if I'm not mistaken, clovers have four leaves, right? It's a shamrock that has three.

You are mistaken. Clovers have 3 leaves. As a kid, I used to hunt through my grandmother's lawn, which was mostly clover, to find a 4-leaf one, which is a rare but not too rare developmental mutation that is never passed on to make more of them. I found one eventually and put it in her dictionary, where she kept the few others that had been found. Shamrock is a specific species of clover (or 1 or 2 out of 300 clover species, any of which might have 4 leaf mutants)

May be I'm mistaken, but I googled both, and I think shamrock it's just the translation in Ireland. May be?

Our back yard was also mostly clover. We'd search and search for four-leafed ones without success. Then my mother would lean out of her chair and pick one. Happened more than once. It was uncanny.
This had a really nice flow doing it without using Xs.
