Reveal answer

Answer

Declarer’s side cleared 36 with room to spare. Step one, the contract itself: 4, with a plus sign. Step two, the distance from 35: 47 is 12 away, rounded to the nearest five = 10, and 10 counted in fives = 2. Declarer and partner each score plus 6. The defenders score nothing this hand; in this game they only ever touch your column, never their own.
