Tough without knowing what 3 was.
A is tempting, otherwise you wouldn't have asked?

Declarer has stiff K, dummy has J6542.
Declarer with 1-4-5-3 has 9 rolling red tricks.

Are we wired or what?

3 was checkback, artificial.
Declarer should be either 2443 or 2452.

It turns out no lead beats it, but I thought this was a brutally hard problem.

Since it's imps I guess I'd try the genius CJ. My red suits seem to call for an active lead since everything is onside for declarer. The jack seems better than small sense it unblocks.

Have to agree with JLOL's logic there, for me too....partner wouldn't have doubled 3 on K/Q to 5 obv.
