The left-hand column gives the combined length in the two suits. 2. The second figure is the number of deals in the sample that met the given conditions. 3. The third figure is the average difference between the number of tricks that can be taken by each side when playing in their longest suit (from the best side) and the combined lengths. Thus the −0.15 on the first line means that, on average, the two sides can take a total of 13.85 tricks (14 − 0.15). With a combined length of 16 cards, the two sides can take an average of 16.10 tricks. 4. The fourth figure is the average of the error in the Law. So even though the Law is off by only 0.15 tricks if the best fits are of 7 cards each, on any individual deal we can expect the Law to be off by a little more than half a Length samples average error 14 46944 −0.15 0.63 15 47281 −0.14 0.64 16 120525 0.10 0.70 17 102184 0.02 0.75 18 69792 −0.01 0.83 19 37561 −0.22 0.87 20 15845 −0.50 0.99 21 5041 −0.89 1.20 22 1286 −1.31 1.48 23 237 −1.78 1.83 24 45 −2.22 2.27 Total 446741 −0.05 0.75
