ANSWER:-Your correct response is two spades. Not only have you passed a maximum, but you have tremendous support for your part- ner's heart suit.
Score 100% for two spades, '80% for three hearts (slightly inadequate), 80% for four hearts, (you are definite- ly interested in a Slam), 40% for one spade.
QUESTION NO. 329
Neither side is vulnerable. You and your partner (Merwin Maier) have a part score of 70, and you hold:
