am enjoying this last quiz but would appreciate a nudge for q. 4: it is precisely defined by a popular bidding convention.

So crASH ?

The most popular bidding conventions in contract bridge are
Acol
Stayman
Blackwood
Transfer bids

and a few others. There is one called Alder. I used to be a bridge player, but have never previously heard of. it, until I looked it up:

Glad you enjoyed the quiz but I came here to find out why so many wrong answers were entered.
The clue said: "It is precisely defined by" BLACKWOOD (a popular bidding convention as noted by Kidas), so the answer was 'EBONY'.

thank you gen2 - I dread to think how many other wrong answers I had!! am neverthless looking forward to getting my sheet back. many thanks again for your hard work and the enjoyment it has given so many of us.
