Penalty, gwnn's law. So maybe 3514 with extras.

agree w/ josh :) how about 4522? surely could be. don't pull if you have more than 4 hcp.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

4513, 4522, with decent opening bid
3514 with extras.
Any of the above would not open strong nt (maybe :))

yep that was the string. Now Justin will find an older string where he said it first :) But "Gwnn's Law" sounds better anyway.
