100% West.

tough one. Hard not to breach a total of 100%.
It would not occur to me just to bid 3H with North.
It would not occur to me to double with East, but perhaps it should.
But West takes the biscuit.
Prob. end in 5HX over 5D.

i think more than 100% to go round. I think east GIB has a lot to blame. Why is Gib coming in so late? surely its better to come in 1st round doubling 2♣ or bidding 3♣.
East Gib was essentially forcing West Gib to bid at the 5-level easily could be 800.

E has a tricky hand, hard to say what it should actually do. Perhaps just double Stayman and then subside. This is a problem above GIB's pay grade. From W point of view NS could be on a 44 fit, and N showed only an invitation. I'd be tempted to treat the double as penalty as W did.

GIB describes its own double as take-out. I don't think it unreasonable to assume that two GIBs at the same table would agree on the meaning.
