This is one of the ‘Easiest’ Bridge Puzzles ever?

 

By Marc Chawner 

 

Initial Analysis:

3 Top Spades, 2 Top Hearts, 3 Top Diamonds and 4 Top Clubs = 12 Top Tricks.

We only need 1 more trick and there are so many places that the trick can come from.

The fact that we can always make 13 tricks from ANY layout means that Diamonds are NOT 3-3 and Spades are NOT 3-2.

The other clue is in the title of this article.

You must look at the puzzle for at least 2 minutes before clicking on the solution.
