Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. On the cut for deal, one of us cut a 2 of spades (2S), and the other cut a 9 of clubs (9C). Since you have first deal, which card did you cut?
2. You deal the cards. Your hand contains the following: AH-3H-7D-JS-QC-QD. You decide to throw the AH and 3H to your crib. Once I've thrown my cards, I cut the deck, and you turn over a 7H. I start the pegging, playing a 4C. You follow with a 7D. My next card is a 2D. You play a JS. I follow with a 6H, giving me one point for the go. You lead the next round with a QC. I play a 5S, giving me two points for the 15. You play your last card, the QD, and get one point for the last card. Now, we count our hands. My hand is 2D-4C-5S-6H. Together with the starter card (7H), how many points does my hand hold?
3. Now, you count your hand (7D-JS-QC-QD, 7H starter card). How many points do you hold?
4. Because you dealt, you get to count the crib as well. There, you have AH-3H-8H-JC, with the 7H starter card. What's the count?
5. Hand #2, and my deal. You look at your cards and see AH-2D-5D-8D-8H-10C. You think for a moment, and decide to throw the 10C and AH into my crib. You cut the cards and I turn over a QH. I smile an evil smile, and you have a sinking feeling in your gut. You start the pegging this time with the 8H. I follow with the KS, which you follow with your 8D. I play a 5S, and peg 2 for the 31. You shake your head, and lead the second round with a 2D. I play a JD. You play your last card, the 5D, and I play my last card, a JH, pegging one for the last card. As the pone (which is the nondealer), you get to count your hand first. With 2D-5D-8D-8H, and the QH starter card, what do you have in your hand?
6. I show you my hand, 5S-JH-JD-KS. With the QH starter, what does that give me for this hand?
7. My crib contains AH-7D-7H-10C. How many can I peg for that hand (including the QH starter)?
8. On to Hand #3, your deal. You pick up your cards, and see 2S-7D-JS-QH-KD-KS. You decide (after very little thought) to throw the 2 and 7 to your crib. I cut the cards and you turn over a QD. Now it's your turn to smile that evil smile. I start the pegging, leading a 7H. You play your JS, which I immediately pair with JC. With the go, I peg 3 points there. Your turn to lead, and you choose KS. I play 8C, and you follow with KD, pegging 1 for the go. I play my last card, 7S, and you play yours, QH, pegging one more for the last card. I, as the pone, count first. I'm holding 7S-7H-8C-JC, with the QD starter. How many points is that?
9. Grinning knowingly, you show me your hand, JS-QH-KD-KS, with the QD starter. I shake my head as I realize how many points you just scored. How many?
10. Your smug smile vanishes as you look in your crib, where you find 2H-2S-7D-KC. With the QD starter, how many points in your crib?
11. Hand #4, my deal. Your hand holds 3C-4S-5H-6S-JH-QS. You decide to throw the J and the Q to my crib. You cut the cards, and I turn over 8S. You start the pegging with 4S. I play KH on that. You follow with 6S. I play QD. With the count at 30, you can't go, so I play AS and peg two for the 31 count. You lead the second round with 3C. I play my last card, QH, so you finish it off with 5H, and peg 1 for the last card. You count first. Your hand is 3C-4S-5H-6S. With the 8S starter card, you score...
12. My hand is AS-QD-QH-KH. With the 8S starter, I score...
13. I turn over my crib, exposing 6D-7S-JH-QS, 8S starter. How many points does this hand score for me?
14. Hand #5, your deal. Your hand looks pretty good, 2H-2S-5C-10D-KD-KS. You throw the pair of 2s because it's your crib. I cut the cards, you turn over 5D. I start the pegging with 2D. You follow it up with 10D. I play 6S, which you follow with KD. That's a go for you, so you peg 1. I start again, this time with 7C. You play KS, I play 7D, you play 5C and score one more for the last card. My hand consists of 2D-6S-7D-7C, and the 5D starter. This hands scores...
15. You got a really nice cut with that 5D starter card. Your hand has 5C-10D-KD-KS. What did you score with it?

17. Hand #6, my deal. Your hand consists of AC-5S-5H-9C-10H-KC. You throw the A and the 9. You cut the cards and I turn over QH. Your turn to start the pegging. You lead your 10H. I pair it with 10D for 2. You play your KC and peg 1 for the go. I lead the next round with 10C. You make 15 with 5H, scoring 2. We keep playing - I play 9D, you the 5S, scoring 1 for the go. I get the last card with JH, scoring 1. You count your hand first, 5S-5H-10H-KC with the QH starter. What's your score for this hand?
18. My hand is 9D-10C-10D-JH. With the QH cut, what did I score?
19. My crib is AC-2H-8D-9C. With the QH starter, how many points does that score?
20. On to Hand #7, your deal. The cards you deal to yourself are AH-2S-7D-8S-KC-KS. It's your crib, and you throw the A and the 2. I cut the cards, you turn over a 4D. It's my turn to start the pegging, and I lead with a 7C. You make 15 with 8S, scoring 2. I play my 9C, making a run of 3 for 3 points. You play your 7D, making 31 for 2 and a run of 3 for 5. I start again with 8C. You respond with your KS. I play 3C, and you make 31 with KC, for 2. I count first. My hand is 3C-7C-8C-9C. With the 4D starter, that makes...

23. Hand #8, my deal. You decide to throw the J and Q from a 2S-5S-8H-9C-JC-QD hand. You cut the cards, I turn over 7H. I giggle. You flinch. You lead off the pegging with 8H. I play 7C for 15, and 2 points. You follow that with 9C (3 points for a run of 3). I play 6D, and peg 5 - 4 for the run, 1 for the go. We play out the next round, 2S (you), 6C (me), 5S (you), and 8S (me, 1 for the go.) You count your hand first, and it holds 2S-5S-8H-9C. With the 7H cut, what did you get?
24. I got a GREAT cut. My hand, 6C-6D-7C-8S, along with the 7H cut, gives me how many?
25. There's no reason to look in my crib (if you didn't keep score yourself, you won't know why until you read the interesting information). So, I'll end this quiz on one final question. What is the cribbage term for claiming points that your opponent failed to peg?
