, 1, 10.
Do you bid No-Trump, bid Solo, or pass?
Answer
Pass. Count the hand: four Taroks below the XV add 1 each, 4, and the K makes it 5. A Solo asks for a count of 12. No-Trump asks for five sure winners from Kings and Queens in long suits, and you hold one King, one Queen and no suit longer than two cards. The hand matches neither contract, so you pass.
