WEEKLY BRIDGE QUIZ ANSWERS
Q 1 - Neither vulnerable, as South,
you hold:
AK?K840AQ842*K952
As dealer, what call would you make?
A - This would have been a silly
question for decades. New rules now
allow a 1NT opening with this hand.
Bid ID, as it will be easy to show
your two suits.
Q 2 - North-South vulnerable, as
South, you hold:
AK 10 54 99<>J10 3*Q9842
Partner opens 1H and right-hand
opponent bids 2D. What call would
you make?
A - This hand is not strong enough
to enter the auction at the two level.
Pass.
Q 3 - East-West vulnerable, as South,
you hold:
*A10 59K54OK65*A10 42
Right-hand opponent opens 4H.
What call would you make?
A - Double at this level is more card
showing than pure takeout. Double
is OK, but this is the rock bottom for
that action.
Q 4 - Both vulnerable, as South, you
hold:
AA429KQ 10 82OQ*AJ52
SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST
19 Pass 1A Pass
2* Pass 29 Pass
9
What call would you make?
A - This hand is worth one more try.
Bid 2S and see if that excites partner.
Q 5 ■ North-South vulnerable, as
South, you hold:
A A 8 2 9 A K J 9 O Q J 10 6 2 * Q
As dealer, what call would you make?
A - The singleton queen is hard to
evaluate. Should you think this hand
is worth a reverse, open ID. If not,
open 1H and rebid 2D. We like ID.
Q 6 - Bast-West vulnerable, as South,
you hold:
A A J9 9AK72 08 *K 10 752
Left-hand opponent opens 4S,
followed by two passes. What call
would you make?
A - You could pass and take a small
profit, but there is a lot of upside to
bidding. Double. Should partner bid
5D, remove that to 5NT. Good luck!
To attend, or not to attend an ex’s wedding
I think “Discarded” shouldn’t go if
she’s not feeling it, but it’s by no means
a universal rule that you shouldn’t
attend an ex’s wedding. If you’re actual
friends — not just amicable former
partners — you should go if you want
to, without worrying that you’ll come
away feeling like crap.
— No Bridesmaids for Me?
You’re right — and, may I say, glori
ously entangled, disentangled and re-
entangledish. Thanks.

Dear Carolyn:
I married my high-
school sweetheart when
we were both 25 — not
because we were soul
mates or even particu
larly happy together, but
because we were imagi
nation-lacking, co-depen-
dent and afraid to let go.
We stayed married for
three years before I cried uncle and
filed for divorce, with his agreement
that it was the right thing to do. While it
was painful at first, we have wound up
more or less friends again, and share a
social circle.
He is getting married again in four
weeks, and I’m invited to the wedding.
First marriage for the new bride. I’ve
been perusing their wedding website
and, maybe this is my glass of wine
talking, but I’m having a hard time
with all the quotes and hashtags that
reference “forever.” She is so happy
they will be together “forever.”
Don’t get me wrong, I hope their
marriage works out, but that language
seems ridiculous considering he has
been married before, believing it
would be “forever,” and it wasn’t. This
is leading me to rethink attending their
wedding — I’m afraid I might scoff my
way through the ceiling. Any ideas to
reshape my thinking?
— Feeling Discarded
Oh, but it’s so easy — you guys
thought it was forever, but you were
“ imagination-lacking, co-dependent
and afraid to let go” (now there’s a
sign to have tastefully lettered and
mounted over my sink), and this time
the couple is mature and clear-eyed
and in loooove enough for a lifetime.
Yeah, yeah.
But do you really want
to live in a world where
hope never triumphs
over experience?
And/or where a
bride-to-be hashtags,
#hopingitsticks?
I don’t. But if you do, or
if you don’t but you’re not
feeling it, and/or if you
present even the slightest scoff risk,
then maybe it’s time to back out. Doing
so four weeks out is not the most polite
move ever, but it beats the day before,
and it beats eye-rolling the bride.
Re: Scoffing:
She and her ex “have wound up
more or less friends again,” but the let
ter suggests “less” is winning out. Skip
ping the wedding seems like a mercy.

Re: Ex’s Wedding:
Don’t go. I have a few friends who
have attended the wedding of an ex
and it always turned out to be a bad
idea. Not necessarily because they did
something dramatic and embarrassing
there, but because my friends came
away feeling like crap. The nature of a
wedding is just not designed to leave an
ex feeling good about attending.

Re: Wedding:
I’m getting married soon. Three of
my four bridesmaids are my fiance’s
exes. Last weekend I was my best
friend’s maid of honor. My date was
my fiance, her ex-boyfriend. They’re
good friends. It was a beautiful wed
ding and we were honored and joyous
to be there.
