 "Nat'l Return Shopping Carts Day" by Marti Ronemus

Who knew so many carts went missing each year? Apparently, it isn't just the unfortunately homeless who find uses for the metal movers, because retailers loudly and frequently decry their disappearance. So today, keep your eye out for the missing, and if you see one in your neighbor's garage, let him know today is "return with no questions asked" day.

And as for bridge, what is missing from your game? Will today's quiz and hand help you get it back? Let's see....

Question 1

Q: 1 - As South, what do you think about this one?

 Your choice:
A: Double: The void in the opponent's suit is worth 5 pts, since you will be dummy. The void and the great shape of this hand makes it worth getting into the action. There are those who would pass, and we don't blame them. We just hope they will be our opponents.

Your result so far:
Open Question

 Your choice:
A: 1: Most partnerships play a new suit in response to an overcall as forcing for one round. You might want to discuss this with partner. 2, in most partnerships, would be WEAK. Worth talking about.

Q: 3 - South?

-11Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 2: Pard's overcall could be as low as 7 pts., but that makes it especially important to respond. Our 2 bid shows three card support and no more than 9 pts. Perfect.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
 K 9
 A J 2
 K J 10
 A K J 4 2
 
Q: 4 - Think this through. South?
SouthWestNorthEast
-1PassPass
?


 Your choice:
A: 2 No-trumps: Everything changes in the balancing seat. This bid is NOT the Unusual No-Trump like it would be in the direct seat. This is natural, showing 20-21 pts, with stoppers in the opponent's suit.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
 10 9
 A J 8 3
 Q 8 6 2
 K Q 2
 
Q: 5 - One last chance. South?

-2PassPass
?


 Your choice:
A: Double: C'mon. You're being robbed. West is weak, probably so is East. Pard's gonna have to bid at the three-level, but we don't care. You can't just sit there. Do something! The Double is perfect.

Your result so far:
