Most bridge players pride themselves on their ability at post-mortem analysis -- figuring out what should happen on a given hand with best play and perfect defense. But sometimes it's not so easy. Andrew Diosy has collected 52 bridge hands, graded into increasing levels of difficulty, where the obvious answer is usually wrong.
