What you’re looking at
This page combines a **bridge card game puzzle** with **travel advertising**. ## Main Content: Sidney Lenz Bridge Problem The prominent feature is a contest by **Sidney Lenz**, described as "the most remarkable card player the world has ever known." Lenz was a famous contract bridge expert of the 1920s. Judge magazine ran a series of bridge problems he personally judged, offering prizes (playing card sets, Judge subscriptions, theater tickets) for the best solutions. Contestants were judged not just on correct play, but on how clearly and cleverly they explained their reasoning. ## Advertisement: Cunard Line The right side advertises the **Cunard Line's transatlantic steamship service**, promoting travel to Scotland for "The Twelfth"—the opening day of grouse hunting season (August 12th), a major event for wealthy British and American sportsmen. The ad lists Scottish hunting regions and promises fast passage to London and onward travel. The contrast reflects Judge's affluent readership: intellectual card games for the mind, luxury travel for the body.
