vacillates between insisting on being called "Ms. Klinktoast-Houstonhousen," and "Esther, because I am so warm
and caring."

Esther says, "These simply ain't
yo' Momma's 'Drill-and-Kill' 'Pop' Quizzes!!!"
As advertised in the December, 2023 ACBL Bridge
Bulletin.

Esther in the Winter, 2024 issue of the
the American Bridge Teachers' Association ABTA Journal, or the
article about Esther in the Summer, 2024 issue
of the ABTA Journal.
The "Esther Bridge 'Pop' Quizzes" website includes a series of bridge quizzes developed by Esther. Each
brief quiz poses a bridge quandary or a series of bridge quandaries. Every Quiz also includes a Hyperlink to
Esther's suggested answer(s) to the quandary or series of quandaries on a given Quiz. These answers are
relatively detailed, and include references and links to related content on the "Esther Bridge
Lessons" website.
Unlike the "Esther Bridge Lessons" and the
"Esther Bridge Conventions Lessons", which vary in
levels of focus and difficulty, the "Esther Bridge 'Pop' Quizzes" are more uniformly targeted at
serving newer players. Enjoy! And please please tell all your Bridge Friends!!!
Esther Bridge 'Pop' Quiz" #103
is a very, very special "Esther Bridge 'Pop' Quiz"! This special 'Pop' Quiz
both tests and teaches. Quiz #103 covers (1) your knowledge about Bridge Scoring and (2) your
knowledge about how Duplicate Pairs MatchPoint and Total Percentages are computed. Would you start competing in
football or cricket if you did not really understand 3how the competition was scored??? To bid and compete
effecively in duplicate bridge you similarly must reasonably soon become facile in your understanding of how
duplicate bridge is scored!!!

The Bridge World is the oldest continuously published bridge magazine. TBW was founded in 1929 and first
edited by Ely Culbertson, a very accomplished and famous bridge player. Culbertson also created the first company to
produce plastic playing cards. His books (e.g., the 1930 Contract Bridge Blue Book, the 1934 Contract Bridge Red
Book on Play, and the 1936 Contract Bridge Complete: The Gold Book of Bidding and Play) were extremely
influential.
Special "Esther Bridge 'Pop' Quiz"
         
In February, 2024 Esther added a new Special Quiz,
"Test Your Knowledge of the Plethora of Some of the More Exotic Bidding Conventions: A Special (and Challenging) Esther Bridge 'Pop' Quiz". ["con_quiz.pdf" =]
This Special Quiz involves a comprehensive overview of Conventions, but is not intended for beginners.
Esther says, "Even if you are not yet ready to play some of these more Advanced Conventions, it may help you
to (1) get a general 'lay of the land' about what your bridge future may eventually involve, and (2) have some (albeit vague) understanding of some of these Conventions in case you encounter Opponents who are bidding these Conventions!"
Another and Recommended
"Bridge Quiz" Website
For a very good and diverse set of bridge web-based quizzes that provide immediate feedback, albeit with very terse/brief explanations, see the Quizzes section of Grand LifeMaster (20K+ MPs) Richard Pavlicek's bridge teaching
website: rpbridge.net. For example, the Bidding Quizes each consist of about 15 questions. Your bridge Hand is
presented, along with any prior bidding, and you are asked to type what you would bid. Immediate feedback is given.
The next few bids are given. Then you are asked what you would bid next, and so forth, until the contract is set on a
given Board. Each quiz consists of a series of 3 or 4 Boards.
Although the website is not secure, the website does not collect any information of any kind from users, and
certainly not any sensitive information, so obviously therefore none of your personal information can be stolen
