It was a question a friend of mine had at his exam, and the expected 
answer was : "sheer luck : apply last sentence of L72B5".
The exemple given by the teacher was the case of a player dropping an 
Ace during the play, thereby being compelled to execute the Emperor's coup.

NB : just for the fun, a dialogue heard yesterday :
West at table 2, strong voice : "I swear I didn't hear you call a heart"
South at table 3 : "Twould be fine if I didn't hear anything either"

Best regards
