Michaels Bid. This is one of the first conventions most players learn. To learn more, read this: Michaels Bids

Strong, artificial but not GF.
Ever since the 1960's, this has been the meaning. You can stop in a partscore, the most common way being 2-2-2NT-Pass.

Both minors, not forcing.

Typically, opener has 5 or more diamonds and 4 or more clubs (but could be 4-4 with a major-suit singleton). This bid is not forcing, but has a wide range (anything from a minimum up to about 18 points).

6 or more clubs, no 4-card major, minimum.

With a 4-card major, opener must bid it (either 1 or raise hearts). It would be rare to repeat a 5-card suit in this auction.

Stayman -- says nothing about clubs -- could even be void in clubs.

Requires partnership agreement -- but most experts use this artificially (so choice #3 was also accepted as correct). It can be considered "new minor forcing" or "checkback" or just "artificial."  There are many forms of this convention and the partnership would need to agree.

You can learn more about New Minor Forcing in Larry's Webinar here. 

Requires Partnership Agreement. Don't feel badly if you voted for #3-Drury (also accepted as a correct answer). That is the way most experienced partnerships use it (and what I recommend). However, this is a convention that both partners often forget.

Requires Partnership Agreement -- but #7 which is the modern way (and the way I recommend) was also marked as a correct answer.

Requires Partnership Agreement.  Most experts use it as #4--Inverted Minors.

Natural, roughly opening bid values. A 2-level overcall shows a decent hand and suit.

Requires Partnership Agreement. I suggest your partnership treats it as forcing one round (and natural).

Requires Partnership Agreement. There are many possible conventions here (DONT, Cappelletti, Landy and tons of others). Even natural is possible.

Notice that "Requires Partnership Agreement" was the answer to about half the questions in this quiz--so it might be time to sit down and talk to your partner!
