Instead It diminished and the three little

around the four mile triangular course
instead of twice, as would have been

There are no trumps and z Is in the

The solution Is for z to lead the kins
q, hearts, which Y must win with tbs
Gee, returning the nine. upon which z
dsaris a useless spade. A now has Il
mex his first discard among three suits
II sheds a spade, Y makes two
tricks in that suit at once by leading
the king and Ave. This allows z to dis
card the queen of diamonds, but forces
A 10 choose again for his second dis
card
II he now let's go a diamond. z havins
only one left, Y leads diamond, z
makes the ace and leads a club, which
y wins, and makes the last trick with
he small diamond.
|, A diecards a club, instead Of the
diamond, Y must make his king OF clubs
&. once and then lead n diamond. This
z wins with the ace, and makes the last
trek with the ten OF clubs.
On the second heart trick, A may dis
card diamond. instead OF n spade. Then
. must make his club trick before lead
,ns the diamond. and when z makes his
two tricks In diamonds A will have to
discard again and he must either un-
guard the spade suit or give up the best
cub,
II A prefers TO discard the club on
me second heart lead Us play is the
sane as when A discards a diamond
Frs, he makes his king of clubs and
tsn leads small diamond. which z
wins with the ace Now the ten OF
clubs forces the decisive discard from
A. who must give up the king OF dia-
mords or give two spade tricks.
This problem cannot be solved by
any attempt to make the ace and king
:" hearts separately. because IL the
tng Is allowed TO hold Y must be put
IN on one OF the black suits.
Il z picks the club for the second
trek will be free to discard a spade
cause will have to pick his discard
tt!ore 4 when Y leads the second of
his winning spades and A will keep
whichever suit z keeps.
II 2 picks the club for his lead after
TIE king Of hearts 4 still discards the
SPADE when Y leads the ace OF hearts.
Is he is now holding over Y. who will
have 10 discard first. when Y leads
he second spade.
This spade discard was overlooked by
al those who sent in solutions that
uon the first trick with the heart king.
as /. will defeat even the double pass
rg Of the lead from z to Y. Suppose
z leads a spade for the second trick
sid discards spade on the ace Of
tsars
As defence is the spade discard, but
+. instead Of making his fve OF spades
a orce, Y leads diamond. and z wins
nth the ace, returning a club, Y Is in
,lain Now he must make his Ave of
srades and the throwing of the lead
hack and forth does not avoid the diff.
