If I found myself in some parallel universe where partner doesn't play signalling, I'd consider declarer's play.



I guess if declarer throws a club, partner can tell you have the ♣A and partner can signal count there.
Maybe it is obvious that the signal _has_ to be count.

Anyway, apologies if I have been asking questions with obvious answers, I tend to be in B/I mode most of the time :-)

There's only one suit where West can hold anything of value, and this is his second discard. I think that makes it clearly count.

I didn't say any of the answers were obvious.
... 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
