Do Not forget you are defending against Strong NT 5 card Majors!
Do your best ( they are not easy, but THINK!! )

I think it is safe to assume that your partner doesn't have a doubleton.

Many people lead third highest of partner's suit when defending a suit contract. It looks like that is what has happened here.

I sent off my answers to Catherine's e-mail address yesterday and got them thrown back to me today, what e-mail address should i send them to? I will try sending them again but if they are not received, could you plaese not post the answers until you receive my answers catherine, i will phone you tonight as i have an exam today.

Andrew

ARGH!!! Still not sending, i will phone in the answers tonight.

Andrew

Catherine, I can confirm I have answers for the following:

Kirstin
Myles
Gordon
Andrew

So you don't have to deduct any points from them.

I've marked them all and am sad to announce that you all scored 0 except for Myles who gets -5 (as I think he was drunk when he wrote them). On a happier note, I have scored the maximum 25 points (including an additional 5 for presentation). This means I am the new leader.

Since I am a boring accountant though, I will let Catherine audit my marking. Results are therefore only provisional and may be subject to amendments.

Hi Cath,

In sent my answers in last Monday and the e-mail said it had sent and it appartently hasn't. I will ring tonight with the answers.

Alex

I wasnt drunk !!

It was a Sunday afternoon David!!! How can anyone be drunk, I just cant write English or make coherent sense anyway! Take my posts for example! And -5...thats harsh Im sure that its u that is wrong and we is all right
