definitely against game being made. In order for North and South to make four hearts, the following break was necessary: The six outstanding clubs would have to be divided exactly evenly in order for South to get rid of the losing diamond in dummy.
The odds against this contingency are approximately two to one. Since game should be bid only when there is about an even chance of making it, we conclude that this one should have been passed up.

I have devoted con- siderable attention not only to the Four Aces System, but to other systems as well," he writes, "I can find no sound reasons to are rive at a game con- tract by modern bid ding methods. And yet, since North and South can make four hearts against any possible de fense, it seems to me there should be some way of arriving at it."

ANSWER: Pass. You have already given one Slam Invitation which your partner has refused; hence any bid beyond game would be dangerous and futile.
Score 100% for pass, 20% for five hearts, or five diamonds, O for six hearts. (Note: This hand was bid and played in a rubber bridge game. The pair arrived at six hearts. down two.)
