Clubs are trumps and Il is In the
lead. Y and u want all six tricks against
any defence.
The solution Is for u to lead the king
Of trumps and follow with the jack OF
spades. These leads may be transposed.
As both cards hold the trick and every
one follows suit nothing happens. eN-
cept that AS hand is reduced to two
red suits. in which either Y or Il holds
over him. and V IL brought down to
ono card in each Of the four suits.
u now leads the queen OF diamonds
and II does not matter whether covers
II or not. as must overtake 1t so
as to draw BIS trump. ON this trump
lead Il discards his losing spade.
II is the discard on this trump lead
that breaks up As defence. He must
either let go the diamond and make
VS. nine good for n trick or he must
unguard the heart and allow z 10 make
two tricks with the ace and queen. After
tho spade discard Bs hand Is out OF
the running.

Several Of those who had no trouble in

this problem found the geometrical much
more difficult. The kink In the problem lies
in the fact that the third term must be
placed between the first and second for
the arthmetical progression. while for
the geometrlcal the terms must be in
order. A person finding one solution Is
therefore likely to he led away from the
other
The problem was TO place two marks
