Rereading my own post (I'm so full of myself) "See no evil, hear no evil, bid 3nt (I)", I wondered if it were possible to create a hand, where 3nt was a reasonable bid.

Here is my try:

Scoring: IMP


(2♦) - Pass - (2♠) - pass
Pass - 3NT???

2♦ = 6(7) Hearts or Spades, 0-4 hcp, must be a decent suit when vulnerable.
2♠ = Invitational if partner has hearts.

This is the best I can come up with. RHO must have the KJ of spades in the slot, and all partners red values are stacked behind LHO. And the clubs can "easily" be set up.

If you want to make a better example, the following should apply:

2♦ must be some kind of multi.
2♠ must be invitational.

The hand cannot contain a hand that would make a tough overcall or double on the first round. (So no 12 counts, and no ♣KQJxxx and ♠AJ9.)

Maybe I'm missing something, but why wouldn't this auction just scream minors?

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."

3NT is sacred.

I hate it when my partners think this hard.
