The James Bond Problem
The James Bond Problem

This is the Duke of Cumberland Hand, used in the film 'Moonraker'. James Bond, sitting North, opens 7 Clubs with just 8 High Card Points (HCP).

After Passes from Meyer (East) and M (South), Drax, West, with 31 HCP and K J 9 of Clubs, Doubles.

007 (North) Redoubles and then makes all 13 tricks.

Looking at the hands of North and West, can you reconstruct the South and East hands?

 

Reveal all 4 hands!

Whatever East leads is trumped. If North needs to enter Dummy, a Diamond is ruffed (trumped).

A Club is now led through West and finessed - whatever West plays, North just plays the next highest card.

Another Diamond is ruffed.

The Club finesse is again played. West's remaining trump is drawn, and now all the Diamonds are established. 13 tricks made against any defence...

Goodnight, Mr Bond....
