I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWERS



Well, I know them for my partner and me, but not for your partner and you.

You must give your regular partner(s) the link to this Quiz and insist that they take the Quiz.

Then you must sit down together and compare answers.

For any answers you have that are different you must discuss the bidding and come to an agreement as to which answer is correct.

When you and your partner always know when 4♣ is Gerber and when it is not then your Bridge will improve.


OK, just so you won't be irritated here is a comment on each of the twelve.

 1  Pard  You    Hopefully everybody reading this will
  agree this is a Gerber sequence.
1NT4♣


 2  Pard  You    This is not Gerber. It is probably a Splinter Bid
  but it may be a weak jump shift.
1♥4♣


 3  Pard  You    Not Gerber for most. It may be a jump-shift (?)
  or may be a Splinter bid showing a singleton ♣.
2♥4♣


 4  Pard  You    This should be Gerber for everybody. I think.
2NT4♣


 5  Pard  You    It depends on what an opening 3NT means.
  If it is 25-27 points then this should be Stayman.
  But I'll bet some call it Gerber.
3NT4♣


 6  Pard  You    Assuming the 2NT bid is 13-15 balanced
  then 4♣ should be Gerber.
1♣
2NT4♣


 7  Pard  You    If you play Jacoby 2NT convention
  then 4♣ here shows a 5-card ♣ suit.
  Otherwise it would be Gerber.

2NT4♣


 8  Pard  You    I think this is Gerber, but perhaps
   some would play it as a new suit??
2♣2♠
2NT4♣


 9  Pard  You    I can't believe this would be Gerber.
  I think it is a game-invitational hand
  with 4♠ and 5♣s.
1NT2♣
2♥4♣


 10  Pard  You    This is definitely not Gerber.
  It is a control-showing bid, indicating
  either the ♣A or a void in ♣s.
1♠
3♠4♣


 11  Pard  You    This is not Gerber in our book.
  but I don't know what it is,
  unless it is a Splinter.
1NT2♦
2♥4♣


 12  Pard  You    This is not Gerber in our book.
  but I don't know what it is,
  unless it is a Splinter.
1♥
2♠4♣
