♣Q. RHO has a penalty pass of spades so spades is not the way we're beating it. As usual, I don't understand passive leads vs 3NT.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Low club.
♣Q is correct if:
- Clubs are divided 3-2-3, partner has no ♣10, and I have a heart entry.
- Clubs are divided 3-2-3, partner has no ♣10, and LHO has ♣K.
A low club is correct if:
- They're 2-2-4 and partner has ♣K
- They're 2-2-4 and partner has ♣10, together with two more tricks elsewhere
- Dummy has a short ♣K
That doesn't seem very close.

... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Q♣ appears partner has a light overcall and RHO had a penalty pass of LHO's reopening X

♥J
opponents have no ♥ fit and declarer has a penalty double of spades with the ♣ king.
To beat this contract partner needs 2 entries or one entry and the ♣10(9) to push clubs through.

After posting I gave the matter further consideration and think 4th is better.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.
