I can cope with dummy ruffing a club at trick 3 then leading ♣10 because we found that card under the table.

But there is no way I would play ♦J at trick 2 with ♦J109

Rare, perhaps, but a rubber game where someone uses a 2D opener to show 6-10 HCP with 44+ in D+M? That is definitely a "collectible" :P

great comment: horrible format of a problem: I tried, briefly, to work out who had had what, but life is too short

Now I understand who had which cards, but I still can't make sense of what happened.
