J. q. asks the meaning Of the express
sion impossible bid" which occurs in

A bid that cannot be made In play,
such as eight hearts. A player was

forced to declare them when spades
we're worth two only.

Doubling tho trick score, while pla we'd

which the contract failed or do they also
get 100 for the slam?
They get 100 for the grand slam.
