Attendance So Far

383½ tables at the end of Day Four (Thursday), 50.7% of the 2019 total.
In 2023, there were 396½ tables to this point.
In 2019, there were 756½ tables to this point.

Table Counts page!

Bridge clubs and tournaments throughout the ACBL are struggling with returning to live play, so comparing this tournament's attendance to one before the pandemic is not really fair. We'll hope to get a little more than last year, around 60% of the 2019 attendance, making the target number 771½ tables this time — but perhaps we will be pleasantly surprised!



Checking Out

One problem with doing puzzles for Daily Bulletins based on dates is that tournaments tend to be held on the same dates year to year. We've done puzzles based on births, and news events, and every time I put them together I realize I've done this before. So, a new angle this time: famous people who died on this day. Here are five from August 22: how many can you guess? Answers near the end of the page.



The Bingo Paradox!

Which Type Of Single-Line Win Is Most Likely?

So many bridge players have been told after a mistake that Bingo might be their game that I will assume you know how Bingo is played, at least the 5x5 version with 75 balls common in North America. Here is the question: a game of Bingo where the winner is the first to complete a single line on a card can be won with a vertical line (5 ways), a horizontal line (5 ways), or a diagonal line (2 ways). Which is most likely? And which is least likely of the three? Don't forget that the center square (or the centre square in Canada and the UK) is a freebie. Answer below.

Results — Day Four — Thursday, August 22


Thursday Open Pairs

Winners: Daniel Korbel, Carole Liss

I am just old enough to remember Phil Wood announcing the names of the leaders at halftime as boards came out for the second session, and how when stratifying games began, this expanded to announcing all three strat leaders, and led to the leaders contriving to be in the washroom or ducking down to avoiding presenting themselves as a target! Thursday's Open Pairs was not kind to the halftime leaders, announcement or no announcement. Winners Daniel Korbel and Carole Liss were third at the break and took the lead twice in the final round, winning by about a sixth of a top. Ella Su and Jason Yao won the under-3000 and under-1500 strats, after being behind by almost two full boards at the break! We're not sure what happened to the Side Games today; looks like they faded below viabilitiy and the pairs were added to the Open or Gold Rush games.

Two-session pairs event, scored in matchpoints.  Strat limits (by pair average): A: 3000+ / B: 1500 - 3000 / C: 0 - 1500.  
Average masterpoints for players in this event: 4101

Brain Workout Section!

For those of you who used to like the puzzles I printed in the old bulletins, here is a link to an online version: one of the puzzles that I used to feature in the old paper Bulletins, but it is easy to play on a computer as well. Not so easy on a tablet or phone, since most of the puzzles require right-clicks, not easily done in a tablet or phone environment.

Unruly gives you a grid of gray squares which you must color in as black or white (some are given as free hints), while keeping to these rules: 1) No three consecutive cells may be the same color going up-down or left-right (diagonally there may be a run of cells of the same color); 2) Each row and column has the same number of black and white cells; and 3) No two rows and no two columns may have exactly the same sequence of black and white cells.

Strategy: Begin by looking for two adjacent cells of the same color and color the cells on either side in the opposite color, to avoid a three-in-a-row. Do the same with white-gray-white, or black-gray-black; the middle cell can be colored in the opposite color to avoid a three-in-a-row. This process will create more opportunities to determine the correct colors of cells, but eventually you will have to consult the other two rules to complete the grid.

Click on the puzzle you want to try at the right (or the caption below) to go to the page with all the instructions you'll need.

These puzzles come from Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection (see below) and there are links there to apps for most devices.

Bingo Paradox Answer

Original question link.

The answer, surprisingly, is that a diagonal line winner is the most likely (42%) and a vertical line winner is least likely (26%). These numbers are based on a program that played 10000 games with 500 different cards. About 1 or 2 out of every run of 10,000 games has a winner claiming two lines at once, I have not yet seen a 3-way winner. The numbers change depending on how many cards are in the game but diagonal is always the most likely and vertical the least likely. A recent YouTube video on the Stand-Up Maths channel claimed that horizontal is three times as likely as vertical, but did so by deciding that diagonal bingos are horizontal because they contain one ball of each colour (B, I, N, G and O)!
