On board #3, you say 2S is the correct answer. However, in your explanation,you say 2 Hearts is correct. Why 2S?
Hi Oren. Your quizzes are always well done. I can't say as I completely agree with #5. If partner is only 5-4 in clubs and spades, he generally should pass 1NT (I think he should pass with the hand you provided, as partner's H bid makes up for his stiff heart). To rebid 2C, partner really ought to be 6-4 in clubs and spades, in which case bidding on really could court disaster. I would strongly consider getting out as cheaply as possible on this misfit by passing two clubs opposite what should be a 6-bagger in partner's hand.
I agree, I would also pass 2CC
I agree. Pass is too seldom chosen
Fabulous quiz!. Great learning tool except for #5. I, too, would pass 2C. No fit, get out early.
I agree.
