Q: 2 - Which is the missing card in South's hand on the following bidding?

South	West	North	East
1♥	Pass	2♣	Pass
2♠	Pass	3 NT	Pass
Pass	Pass

A: The Ace of Diamonds - You have made a reverse by bidding 2♠, so you must have a strong hand. A high honor is missing.

With 5 Spades and 5 Hearts, you would have opened 1♠. Therefore, with the choices at hand, it would have to be a Diamond, and to have enough points for a reverse, it's the ♦A.

-	-	1♥	Pass
4♥	Pass	Pass	Pass

A: A small Heart - Bidding 4♥ facing a 1♥ opener shows a weak hand with 5 Hearts. Therefore, the missing card is a Heart.

With the ♥A, you would not have bid 4♥ right away, but started with a Jacoby 2 NT.

Open Question

Question 5

South	West	North	East
-	-	1♣	Pass
1♥	Pass	1♠	Pass
2♦	Pass	2 NT	Pass
3 NT	Pass	Pass	Pass

A: The Ace of Clubs - You have bid Fourth-suit forcing, so you need to have close to opening values. The missing card must be a high honor.

You can't have a fourth Spade, else you would have played in Spades instead of No-trump, and with a Diamond stopper, you would have bid 3 NT on the second round. Therefore, the missing card is the ♣A.
