Dave Flower asked on rec.games.bridge:
At a regional Swiss teams, at the end of a match, this dialogue occurred:
| Team-mates | "We've lost it" |
| Us | "No we've won it" |
| Team-mates | "Impossible" |
| Me | "OK Score it up. Board 1?" |
| Team-mates | "Minus two thousand" |
Guess what my reply was ?
The following suggestions were made:
| Steve Grant: | "Push" |
| Charles Blair: | "Passed out" |
| Giles Woodruff: | "24 out. That was our bad one. However, I made an overtrick on the next one" |
| Jan Kamras | "Win 7" |
| John Probst | "Plus thirtyfive-fifty" |
| Dave Wetzel | "Push" |
| Rich Laver | "We also scored minus 2000, but because of an irregularity the director cancelled the board, awarding us 3 imps" |
| Henk Uijterwaal | "Board cancelled, win 3" |
| David Stevenson | "Flat" |
| Robert Tamlyn | "Ran out of time: did not play it" |
| Richard Pavlicek | "OK, let's try Board 2" |
| Charles Blair: | "Plus four thousand" [Same auction, except an SOS redouble at the end.] |
| Thomas Dehn | "That's 21 IMPs to us: thanks a lot for not redoubling" |
| Chris Philp | "Oh....... they doubled? We've lost it" |
| Peter Gill | "Plus 2200. They redoubled at our table. Sorry about that board; our session gets better soon...." |
Dave Flower gave the answer:
| Me | "Flat. Board 2?" |
It appears that Steve Grant, Dave Wetzel and David Stevenson got the right answer!
