Answers to bridge quiz

     f.              3ª - jump with 16TP to show a midi

     g.             2¨ - too weak (13TP- mini) to reverse to 2©; at least your 5 ¨s are strong

 

2.   a.   2NT - balanced mini

      e.       2¨ (13TP) - shift to a lower-ranking suit at the two-level to show a mini or possibly midi

 

3.    a. 2NT - invitational 10-12 with ª stopper

     b. 3§ - 6-card suit, invitational 10-12

     c. 3¨ - 4-card fit & invitational 10-12

     d. 3NT - 13-15 & ª stopper

 

4.    a.  2¨ - new suit forcing by responder (11+) & hoping opener can bid notrumps with a ª stopper or show delayed (3-card) © support

      b. 3NT - 13-15 with ¨ and ª stoppers

 

5.    a.  2NT - 6-9 & § stopper

     b.    3¨ - 6-9 & ¨ fit

     c.      3NT - 10-14ish & § stopper

     d.   3§ - fourth suit, promising enough for game and no clear choice.  5¨ is okay on values & fit, but notrumps or spades may be better, depending on opener's black suit cards.  A difficult sort of hand to be worried about at some later date!
