You reach 6NT as South on the lead of the ♠K. It is teams, so do not worry about the overtrick. The contract is now cold, but what lead would have beaten you?
Not difficult, and when you solve it do not post the solution. Just say "solved".

Also solved I think. I haven't actually thought much about the layout but from general principles I think there is only one candidate for a lead to beat it.

Solved I think (actually seems to have been amended since I solved it, may have to think again).

Yes I changed a few pips to eliminate a second solution!

Solved.

Now let me think how we can make the overtrick :)

Before internet age you had a suspicion there are lots of "not-so-smart" people on the planet. Now you even know their names.
