So what should I say? I can't say "we're a new partnership", I can't say "I'm not sure", I can't say "look at the card", I can't say "I'm not sure, but..." (this one will get interrupted), I can't say "I have no clue " (which would be untrue). So what can I say?

Director please!

Law 20F4 says that he "must" do that. My guess is that he is himself the Director.

On the question Blackshoe originally wanted to ask, rather than the numerous matters arising that arose from the context:

In general if a player tells me to stop giving him information part way through, thus failing to learn something substantive, I would tend to think "Thank you. That insulates me from any adverse MI ruling on this point."

Good point, Ivie.

Since when does being a playing director preclude one (or even excuse one) from calling the director?

If by "he" you mean me, no, not this time. Had I been a playing Director, there was at least one other director playing there that day, and I would have called her.
