yleexotee:
PROBLEM A: Pass - the 3c being non forcing is the hint to me
PROBLEM B: Double - Just feels too much to try the 5 level unilaterally. wish there was a 4nt that didn't mean spade slam
PROBLEM C: 1 Heart - can't bring myself to bid 1nt, so this is least distorting
PROBLEM D: 2 Hearts - 2 5 card suits and a void, yes its invite +
PROBLEM E: 2 Notrump - unsure of this one
PROBLEM F: 2 Clubs - automatic playing the nebulous 2c, I guess I should hae looked this up. seems too strong to try any kind of 3nt answer. 2h = 100% 5 hearts to me.
PROBLEM G: 1 Heart - starting low, assuming we will settle in the diamond fit, but I like this to discourage a heart lead later
PROBLEM H: Spade Ace- trying for a doubleton lead that actually works given some trump control

PROBLEM A: 3 Diamonds
Smells like a 4=3=5=1 ? But Pass is also tempting.

PROBLEM B: Double
Unanimous? WTP?

PROBLEM C: 1 Heart
Constructive. Non-forcing. Surely partner has one of the majors.

PROBLEM D: 2 Hearts
The void makes this the value bid.

PROBLEM E: Pass
I hate this. The real headache will come on the next round when partner’s double comes around to us.

PROBLEM F: 2 Clubs
This would be my response at the table. I did not find anything on this in the system notes, but the trend toward a nebulous 2 !C is hopefully how the panel thinks.

PROBLEM G: 2 Diamonds
Although 1H is the system bid and “standard,” the Diamond suit is “where I live.” There is a little guy on my shoulder whispering to me to bid 3 !S to take away their spade fit unless introduced at the 4 level.

PROBLEM H: Club Ace
Not terribly fond of lead problems. Since partner has very little, the !C A might find partner with the !C K but it also gives me a peek at dummy with little risk making my play at trick two easier.
