Understanding a revoke in bridge and a 1966 nuclear test note
The text explains that a revoke occurs when a player with a trump card in a suit fails to follow suit and plays another, becoming established when the partner plays the next trick. The penalty spans two tricks, counting only the revoking and later tricks, and a previously won trick cannot be lost due to a revoke. It adds a 10 year old note about a U.S. underground nuclear test in a Mississippi salt dome to study detectability.
