Well, let me start with an expression of thanks to those who have done this before: it was a more daunting task than I had expected, and I owe a big thank-you to Ben for his help.... and to all who sent me answers. I received 17 sets of answers, some of them without comment. I have based the awards on the views of the 'panel' rather than straight popularity amongst all responders. Any quotes, here and in later posts, will be truncated and maybe be slightly paraphrased for space reasons, but I will do my best to preserve the meaning. Any comments in parentheses will be my editorial comment...added to (I hope) clarify the quotation.

Onto the first hand:

Edit: oops... I had a couple more responses, and iI need to digest them, and their comments... so will repost very shortly...... I had a full post here, but I am withdrawing it :)

Guess that I was the only one who couldn't read the font...

I thought that the auction started even more improbably:

(P) - P - (1♠) - P
(1N) - X - (2♠) - ???

Thats what it looked like on my PDA when I first saw the problem. Double was obvious - at least until I saw 2♣ LOL.
