Pass-or-correct bid

In the card game bridge a pass-or-correct bid (or convertible bid), is a non-forcing bid that asks partner to pass or bid differently based on her/his holding. Pass-or-correct bids are generally used as responses to multiway bids.

A typical example is the 2 response on a multi 2 diamonds opening that asks partner to pass with a weak hand with long spades, or to bid three hearts with a weak hand and long hearts. This 2 bid implies length in hearts and denies length in spades.

Pass-or-correct bids that are made in a suit you don't hold when length in one of two suits has been shown by partner's bid, are also referred to as paradox responses.

Conventions using pass-or-correct bids

gollark: https://osmarks.ml/git/osmarks/terminal-speedtests - there is the source; it's in Rust, so just running `cargo bench` if you have the stuff installed will work.
gollark: Do what in a shellscript?
gollark: <@116952546664382473>
gollark: And then my prompt script fails to run, sooo...
gollark: ```thread 'main' panicked at 'Could not spawn the process.: Os { code: 1, kind: PermissionDenied, message: "Operation not permitted" }', libcore/result.rs:945:5note: Run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` for a backtrace.```
