Pass Pass Pass "We took exactly one trick, the club ace, so our opponents could (and did!) gloat over a score of 930 points.

Now for the questions: (1) Was East's two diamond over-call okay? (2) Was West's double of four spades Justified after that overcall? (3) Should East have run from the redouble to five diamonds?" Answering the questions In order: (1) East's overcall was horrible! The mere fact that East could take a lot of diamond tricks did not make his bid any more pointed. Surely, with his flat distribution and seven hopeless losers East did not hope to "go anywhere," and there is no other good reason for the vulnerable overcall of a nonvulnerable opening bid. (2) West's double of four spades was extremely sporty, at best, even though West had the right to expect substantial values in his partner's Considering North's Jump to four spades, the king in West's hand had a highly putative value. It is fair to say that the double was not good except by comparison with East's two diamond bid. (3) It made little difference what East did at this point his side was in so deep that salvage operations were impossible.

FLINT A smart little boy went to an amusement park one day and while he'was having fun sliding down a great, long slide he noticed a- sign which said, "The Management will give a season pass to any boy or girl under fifteen years of age who can figure out the length of this slide without the use of any measuring devise." The smart little boy was determined to accept the challenge so he sat down on a bench nearby to figure the thing out. Finally he took out his watch and by a little experimentation he found that when he walked up the runway which ran right alongside the slide he could travel at a rate of two feet per second and when he traveled down the slide he slid at a rate of twenty feet per second so that it was a one-minute round-trip from the Select the answers which you consider best. 1.
