I can play it for 5 tricks, no problem.

Oh, you want six?

While you are at it, try this one:

I once had this. I SCREAMED for the jack. RHO, trembling, followed with a small one. I asked her if she knew of the rule COVER AN HONOR WITH AN HONOR? She gave a knowing nod, but her right eye twitched. The director started hovering, and I told her it was her play. She was ready to pull a card out and I said A HA! YOU DO HAVE ANOTHER HEART! Then, she reached for her oreo and twisted it. I recalled her twisting her oreo 3 years prior, and she had the ace and one.

BUT THEN I REMEMBERED SHE HAD A PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY! SHE KNEW THAT I KNEW THAT SHE TWISTED HER OREO WITH ACE AND ONE. THUS SHE MUST HAVE QUEEN AND ONE NOW!

Well played ma'am but I'm an expert. I followed low and made my slam! Who needs keycard?

Presumably this was in the Round of 64.

Jack wins when East has Qx. King wins when East has Ax. Both equally likely. King also wins when West has singleton Q. So, king me.

Reusing this logic for second problem, except I'll play 7 to the king, in case hearts are not 2-2.
