Clubs are trumps ana u IS IN the
lead. Y and u want all seven tricks
ain any defence.
The solution Is for y to lead his
smallest diamond. on which A must play
the jack TO shut out the ten. n \ wins
with the ace. The next lead ID the
trump. upon which A and b may as we'll
discard spades. Il discards the eight OK
hearts.
Flo the third trick Y leads the spade
queen. Y wins the trick with the acc
and returns the ten. upon which Y gets
rid Of the losing diamond.
rs lead for the next trick depends
on the discards OF A n b on the
spade ten. II A has discarded q dia-
mond. banking the king. Y leads a dia-
mond, Y trumps II and z gets back with
the queen OF hearts to make a diamond
trick.
II A discards n heart instead OF the
diamond rs lead must depend on BIS
discard. IL h has discarded a heart, q
leads the heart queen. dropping a heart
from both A and b and establishing the
nine of hearts in VS. hand.
II Il discards,a diamond when A dis
cards the heart. which is evidently the
best defence. as II keeps both the red
suits guarded. y leads the queen Of dia-
monds, which a must cover with the
king. Y trunps II. the last dia-
mond falls from r, making the eight
good for a trick in rs hand. with the
queen Of hearts for reentry.

SOM CHECKER MOVEMENTS
There Is a little puzzle that should prove
equally interesting to the checker players
and mathematical sharrs. 1t Is from that
prince Of puzzlers. Harry A. Sayles. and
Is q prelude to a much more difficult
task Of the same kind.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1916-03-12

This II an ordinary checker board. and
as every checker player knows. any man
starting from n of the squares marked
II" and going to the king row on the
opposite side of the board must keep 10
the white squares and must g@ across in
seven moves. as he annOt go backward.
How many different paths could a
checker pursue. each different from the
other, In making this tourney across?
As there are tour starting places, each
marked ~" on the diagram. we can get
different paths from each Of them. all II
which must be worked out. The total
number of paths IL what IL asked for,
rot the number of moves. because there
must be exactly seven moves in each
path.
The merits Of solutions sent IN will be
Judged by the method followed In finding
the answer, not by the answer itself.
That is to say. solvers must show the
proof that their answers are correct.
