53/112, missed a few obvious ones, though. Someone got over 100!

Is it unduly pedantic to point out that the team that won in 1955 was Great Britain, not the UK?
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

37. Weeeaksauce. Only one pair I'm upset I missed though, others I could have just randomly guessed at :P

Mini-spoiler, maybe don't read if you haven't done the quiz yet: it never occurred to me to just start typing in conventions I know, I would have gotten 4 more
I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

It would help if they could spell too (Mahmood) :)
Jan Martel, who should probably state that she is not speaking on behalf of the USBF, the ACBL, the WBF Systems Committee, or any member of any Systems Committee or Laws Commission.

Yeah I got 76 and missed a few easy ones and a few just becuase I couldn't spell it. I missed M Branco because he had some weird last name listed :P

Ditto on M Branco - he's always called Branco, not that hyphenated last name :P
It was fun though.

Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.
