If you are born on an odd-numbered day, you are North and please open this spoiler:

If you are born on an even-numbered day, you are South and please open this spoiler:

Please use spoilers in your answers as well (you turn it on with [.spoiler] [./spoiler] but without the dots).

Thank you for the cooperation and have a nice day.

Your instructions are ambiguous. I went by odd/even day of the month, but it would have been different had I gone by odd/even day of the year.

I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

And, interesting idea for thread .. kind of a split poll.

Also, any chance to add an "insert spoiler" button to the post editor?
