Solution, to Preceding Contract Problem
What is the most favourable trump distribution to hold: five trump yourself and have your part- ner hold three, or to hold four and find your partner with four?
The four-four distribution is by far the best because, when you and your partner each hold four cards of a suit, this suit. has no value for discards as a side suit. If it is not trump it will win only Its high card tricks.
