Of the following rebids by South, which would be the strongest?
[A] three hearts; [B] three clubs; [C] two no trump.
Answer: Rebid [B] is the strong- est. In fact, it is the only absolute force among the three different..re- bids. Three hearts, a jump rebid of South's first bid suit, is only a strong urge, which also may be said for rebid [C], two no trump. The latter, of course, shows rough- ly the same trick taking possibili- ties but a more balanced pattern than the jump heart rebid. The three club rebid [B] is jump in a new suit, and, hence, an absolute force. [Two points demerit for improper dnswer,]
Question 48: In which bidding sequence, [D] or [E], has South the stronger Hand?
South West North East [D] 1 spade 1 no tr'p Pass Pass
Double [E] 1 spade 1 no trp Pass Pass
2 diam's Answer: South has the stronger hand in bidding sequence D. A takeout double is stranger thân 4 bid or rebid. By doubling, South invites a bid from his partner in any one of at east three suits, or "business pass" to the double. [Two points demerit for improper answer.]
