Then such a person might be well advised to start with Law 1
"Duplicate Contract Bridge is played with a pack of 52 cards, consisting 
of 13 cards in each of four suits. The suits rank downward in the order 
Spades (), Hearts (), Diamonds (), Clubs (). The cards of each suit rank 
downward in the order Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2."

Having looked there and discovered that the "fi-er" is not a rank (at 
least in an English-speaking game") he would be able to work out that 
L46b3 does not apply.
