Declarer’s side bid One and finished with 40 Card Points of the 94, well short of the 48 needed. But during the hand, the Declarer’s partner won the last trick with the Pagát: a quiet, unannounced Pagát Ultimo.
Who writes what?

Answer
The contract fails. One needed 48 and reached only 40, so the defenders each write 3, the contract’s value. But the quiet Pagát Ultimo still counts: Declarer’s side adds 5, because bonuses belong to whoever earned them, win or lose, kontra’d or not. Losing the contract does not erase a trick you actually won.
