Just one more splinter foulup to add to a long list:



MP, best hand South, 55% rebate, pro GIB 30.

Rather superfluous my saying so, I expect, but North should rebid 3N over 3S. End of auction.
Psych (pron. saik): A gross and deliberate misstatement of honour strength and/or suit length. Expressly permitted under Law 73E but forbidden contrary to that law by Acol club tourneys.

Psyche (pron. sahy-kee): The human soul, spirit or mind (derived, personification thereof, beloved of Eros, Greek myth).
Masterminding (pron. mPosted ImagesPosted ImagetPosted Imager-mPosted ImagendPosted Imageing) tr. v. - Any bid made by bridge player with which partner disagrees.

"Gentlemen, when the barrage lifts." 9th battalion, King's own Yorkshire light infantry,
2000 years earlier: "morituri te salutant"

"I will be with you, whatever". Blair to Bush, precursor to invasion of Iraq

And, since several bids are available to North over 3, the definition of 4 should give some indication as to how that bid limits North's hand. (As shown, it appears that 4 is a required response to 3.)

Indeed, no disconnect here, the description is as nonsensical as the bid itself. Surely a hand with extra values would use Blackwood or cue bid in preference to 4D.
