On today's deal, South has a count of 18 high card points and his partner has opened! Normal re- sponses with the other three suits stopped are: 1NT with 6 to 10 points; 2NT with 13 to 15 points; and 3NT with 14 to 18 points. Our South makes a nor- mal 3NT response and North is confronted with a problem. The combined point total from the bidding and from his own hand does not add up to 33, the nor- mal amount for smal] slam. North chooses a rather unusual bid of 5C to show his five card suit and his _ intermediate strength. South can read this bid as unusual and takes the partnership to slam in no trump. The slam is unbeatable as South wins the diamond in his own hand and eventually loses the king of hearts on the finesse. When this hand was actually played almost all pairs went on to six hearts rather than the no trump game. One unfortunate pair had a mixup in _ bidding when the North player thought his partner's three no trump bid was a gambling-type three no bid and left his partner at that level.
