Hearts: Answer to question 9

Q: I get the same score in each hand of a game, in which I come first. The other three players have the same score at the end of the game. Given that my score in each hand is as high as possible, what are all the scores?

A: 90, 100, 100 and 100.

I score 6 in each of 15 hands for a total of 90. The others each score 13 in 5 hands, 4 in 5 hands and 3 in 5 hands, for a total score of 100.

(Thanks to Neil Smith for the correction to the hand score distribution.)
