TimG Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 How did people do? I got 78, apparantly I bombed questionw 7 and 10 but I don't remember which ones those are and can't figure out how to see it.. I couldn't figure out how to see the questions to answer them.

Phil Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 LOL looks like Cherdan0 and I skipped a few questions at the end. I'll extrapolate my 56 to an 80, assuming I answered the last 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I got 64 which makes me sad. I wish I could see the problems and find out why I sucked so badly. I like Pavlicek's better. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Pavlicek's better. :) Spot on. If the World's Best Bidder is scoring only 64%, then the questions must be seriously flawed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 64 for me also, despite getting gooseeggs on the last 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOL Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Ahh I probably skipped question 10 since i got a 0, or did I pull a kenrexford lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I am pleased that I only managed to embarass myself (via a solo answer) on one problem (#4) and one of my near-solo answers (#3) was actually praised by the moderator! About problem 4, either I was and still am out to lunch or the same is true of the entire panel. I really don't understand passing 4S, but the odds seem to be heavily in favor of me being the one who is out to lunch :P Fred GitelmanBridge Base Inc.www.bridgebase.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 The moderator needs to switch to decaf :P Wow; he invented xsfr positives to a strong club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 But I don't see the scores on there. I'll never remember what my answers were. Maybe I'm missing the boat and it's obvious, but... Anyway having read the commentary, I feel better knowing the moderator was on some of the good stuff that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't understand passing 4S, but the odds seem to be heavily in favor of me being the one who is out to lunch :) Fred GitelmanBridge Base Inc.www.bridgebase.comAbout problem 4, can't partner have a hand like this: Qx Kxxx Kxxx Kxx or Kx Kxxx Qxx Kxxx or Qx Kxxx Qxx Kxxx or Kx Qxxx Kxxx Kxx We are vulnerable and opponents are not.RHO didn't bid 4H on the double and this suggests he was dealt with only 2 cards in H.I think my part is likely to have 4 cards in Heart here.I have made my slam try already bidding 4H and my partner knows I am (very) short in H.And finally I have only 14HCP.

kfay Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 52 :) Apparently I did pretty well on the hard ones but totally got crushed on the ones where everyone is scoring up 10s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwingo Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 The Marks for the different answers in now available for download ( which was not there earlier ) from the website. Looking at the marks awarded for each question, you will now remember what was the answer you gave for this contest. Not a good way to conduct this, but something is better than nothing.
