 "So, You Want to Be a P.I." Place Contract by Marti Ronemus

Bored with your job? Want a little glamour in your life? Read on the back of a matchbook about Private Eye school? Before enrolling, here is some information from a real life P.I.
"We have a lot of unsavory tasks, like dumpster-diving. Lots of clues in there, but we need face masks and Vicks to do it. We've had a jump in the need for our services thanks to on-line dating. Social media has made our jobs easier. We all have alter-egos and our subjects aren't reluctant to 'friend' us. My alter-ego is much more popular than I am."
The strangest call our informant ever had? "Some one wanted to hire me because they were convinced their TV was haunted."

And we as bridge players get some strange calls (aka "bids") too, don't we? Are you ready?

?


 Your choice:
A: 2: Do we play transfers? If so, this is the perfect time to get Pard to bid Hearts. Unless we play this hand in Hearts, we will be a classic Crummy Dummy, useless! If no transfers? 2 is a "drop dead" bid.

?


 Your choice:
A: Pass: Pard's rebid of an old suit at the two-level marks him with only 12-14 pts. We detect he's got five Hearts and four Spades and we're going nowhere. Pass is our bid. Sorry.

 Your choice:
A: 4: Oh happy day! We've got the same shape hand, but the points for game are there. Pard is minimum, but we've got what it takes for the Spade game. You don't need your Detect-o-Kit for this one.

Your result so far:

Q: 4 - South:

--1Pass

?


 Your choice:
A: 3 No-trump: Pard's confessed to holding only 12-14 again. He doesn't have four Spades and no other suit he wants to mention. 3NT seems to be a nice resting place. AND! As a bonus, Pard has to play it.

Your result so far:
Open Question

 Your choice:
A: 4: Do the Math!! Our 12 HCP and two extras for looonnnggg Spades added to Pard's minimum equals game. We sure don't want to play it anywhere but Spades.

And now, let's investigate our upcoming hand.
