20) Open Faced Chinese
Needless to say you've made a good start.
Name the only straight you cannot make when holding 10,5 in the hole.
And correct.
If the board comes 6789, you must play your 10 giving you a 10 high straight.
Every other straight is possible.
Few more to go.
So suspiscious. I'm merely bored at work trying to occupy myself. Just cause you cant get any
Close. The next best thing.
Bingo!
Nice one. Not read it myself.
Im waiting for Lamberts version.
