QUIZ:   Would   you   get to the cold grand in hearts?

SOLUTION:

If you're playing vanilla Precision (the Wei simplistic version) the bidding would go:

1C - 1H 1C = 16+ 1H = 8+, 5+H's 2H - 3C 2H asks about H's; 3C = 5 with 2 of top 3 honours 4C - 4H 4C asks about clubs; 4H = 2nd round control 5C - 5H 5C = "singleton or King?" 5H = king 7H relies on 3-2 H's (and South can have HJ too!). D-ruff = 13th
