After you have dealt about half of the 52 cards for a bridge game (with four players), the phone rings. You put down the undealt cards to answer the phone. When you return, none of the cards has been touched, and no one can remember where the last card was dealt. Without counting the cards in any hand, or the number of cards yet to be dealt, how can you finish dealing rapidly and accurately, giving each player exactly the same cards they would have received if you hadn't been interrupted?

Then they should forget about bridge completely and have Miss H join them for a game of strip poker.

Ask each player how many cards they have. :idea:

If there is a leper playing, ask him to throw his hand in.

Are they playing in the jungle? cos there's a lot of cheetas about.

Dealing from the bottom is not necessarily cheating.

It depends on who's bottom :-)

I am really good at strip poke her. I always win.
I think the rule where the looser (the one still with most items left on has to do me doggy fashion is a little unfair on him though)

No one seems to worry if I cheat and don't wear a bra or knickers. Sometimes I manage to start wearing only a dress and I win in seconds. Aren't men stupid, some of the girls play too and the rules seem to change if there is more than one girl. There doesn't seem to be a rule where the men have to kiss and go down on each other

Two possible solutions.

1) Simple, deal 4 new hands with the remaining cards, piles 1 and 2 will have an extra card, so you know that the initial half of the deal has given players 1 and 2 extra cards, so give the new piles 1 and 2 to players 3 and 4.

2) If you know that you had dealt half, any half wit bridge player would know that there are 26 cards remaining to be dealt, start dealing at player 3.

The Solution




Deal from the bottom of the pack, yourself first and in the opposite direction to normal - ie anti clockwise.
You know that you should get the last card, so dealing the rest of the pack this way ensures a correct deal.

And I thought in England EVERYTHING is going in the opposite direction to normal anyway :? :mrgreen:

I would hardly call that a solution....it makes more sense to disconnect the phone so that there are no more interruptions.

I did sweetie. It has been quoted in all the posts above.

You deal from the bottom of the pack - yourself first, because in a normal deal you would get the last card, you deal the rest of the cards from the bottom anti clockwise, because you would normally deal clockwise, this ensures that the deal will be correct.
