We had a new sequence to an unusual final contract last night.

1NT (1) 2♣ (2)
2♦ (3) 2♥ (4)
2♠ (5) 4♣ (6)
4NT (7) 5NT (8)
Pass (9)

(1) 15-17
(2) 5-card Stayman
(3) no 5-card major
(4) 4 hearts (or some 5-5 majors), F1
(5) 4 spades, not 4 hearts
(6) 4 hearts, 4 clubs, no singleton or void, slam interest
(7) minimum, no club fit
(8) Are you sure you are really minimum?
(9) Yes, I am 4243 with no useful pips

This was exactly the right spot (10 top tricks plus a 100% double squeeze for 11), but sadly made an overtrick with a very favourable lie.

We want brownie points for accurate non-hindsight bidding
