Scoring: IMP

15-17 1NT from pard, so you transfer and bid 3H; He bids 3S. Worth a try, and if so, what?

For me this auction promises 5-5, no smolen, and is game forcing. Now I just rebid 4s.

If 3nt is some sort of mild slam try unsure direction I guess I would try that.

I'll bid whatever shows club shortness.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Ditto.
"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

Presumably one of 1N-2♥-2♠-3♥-Any-4♥ and 1N-2♥-2♠-4♥ shows a mild 5-5 slam try and I'd have chosen that route in the absence of methods allowing me to show club shortage.
