GONE

We took Joan & Herrick to the airport on Fri. where they met up with Joan's sister and they have gone home.

We took them around to local sights not seen on their last visit and they loved attending Melissa & Andrew's wedding.

In the previous blog I mentioned that they were anxious to play 'Hearts', well we did almost every night and Herrick was the winner of the series. Both are expert Bridge players and have won all kinds of tournaments. They remember every card played, even hands in previous games.

We taught them to play Eucre and played several games where he was my partner, we won the majority of the games but we eventually had great discussions on statistics of the game, he decided that it is mostly luck that wins the game. Joan disagreed with his thinking.

He also beat me at a game of snooker and 8 ball.

We had a lot of fun with them.

Must be really quiet at your house now....so when are they returning or are you guys heading to the other side of the pond soon?

Sounds like they won pretty much everything!

According to his statistical thinking, he kept leading with the right bower on the asumption that it would take out the other high cards and thus give him an advantage. He couldn't be convinced that it would hurt his partner.
