 Serendipity Day by Marti Ronemus

Today represented a difficult choice. It is both "Serendipity Day" and "National Chocolate Chip Day". Finding an agreeable thing not sought for (a serendipity!) is part of the magic of bridge. Chocolate chips are part of the magic of life. So how about this? We'll look for agreeable things in this quiz while eating a chocolate chip cookie. The best of both!

 Q J 10 5
 
Q: 1 - As South, Vul vs Vul, what should you bid?
SouthWestNorthEast
1122
?


 Your choice:
A: 3: It's tempting to rebid the Hearts right away, but you've got a rock of a hand with great distribution. You've also got an unlimited pard with a 5-card Club suit. First we'll show support. This auction isn't over yet!

Q: 2 - South, Vul vs NV, is up. What should the rebid be?

?


 Your choice:
A: 4: It is very tempting to check out a slam, but it's not your job. Your job is to show your point count (19-21 reevaluation!) and your Spade fit. Once you limit your hand, Pard will do the math and take any further action.

Q: 3 - What should South, all Vul, bid?

?


 Your choice:
A: 4: We're a little lighter on points, but we've got a fistful of trumps, at least nine, and nice shape. Why not give this a try? We may find Pard, serendipitously, holding perfect cards.

Q: 4 - No one is Vul. What should South bid?

?


 Your choice:
A: 3: You know you've got a nine card trumps fit. Pard's rebid promised six. His bid also showed 6-9 pts. With distribution and reevaluation, we can come up with 16-18. Invite. With a nice 8 or 9, pard will put us in game. It's his problem now!

Q: 5 - E/W is Vul. What should South bid?
SouthWestNorthEast
1122
?


 Your choice:
A: 3: When partner supports us, we re-evaluate and invite. It just isn't big enough to go to game opposite a partner who might only have 6 pts. We are going to play this hand, so it will be interesting to see whether Pard passes or puts us in game. Ready to find out?
