ANSWER: Bid one heart. Since Mr. Schenken was unable to respond to one diamond, it is safe to assume that your opponents have no game. Cón- versely, your partner should have at least a fair hand. Therefore you should be able to make a part score and possibly a game.
Score 100% for one heart, 70% for double (takeout), 20% for pass.
