Just out of curiosity, what percentage of "BBO experts" or better do you think can solve all the Bridge Master 2000 level 3 hands? Lets say they get 10 min to play each hand (no second attempts for any hand).

I fixed the question.

To be realistic, what percentage of "BBO experts" would solve all 30 level 1 problems at the table?

My guess is it is still less than 10%. People make mistakes all the time.

I just tried trial deal 1 at level 1. There were 9 top tricks in 3NT!? Ice-cold from the top, no finessing or anything. If the deals don't get harder than this...

they get harder. maybe not at level 1. but try 4 and 5. they are hard.

Yeah, experts should probably start at level 4 or 5. Level 1 is literally like finesse with AKxx opposite JT98 after playing a top honour.

I timed out on 28, think I could have gotten it.

Just wanna say these bridge masters are awesome, they have given me a renewed interest in bridge, recommend everyone get them. 10 bucks for 30 of these hands is a ridic steal.

Me too. I've always thought it a shame that there aren't more deals, though.

I think there would be a huge market if there was a set for defense instead of just declarer play.
