One more try, though admittedly this could go horribly wrong. I'm looking for overtricks anyway, right? And any extra honors partner has should mesh well with my hand. I'd bid 5♦, then pass partner's 5♠. I don't really have a good agreement as to how to reach 6♣ when partner is 4-4 in the blacks 
I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

If you pass, W comes in with 5♦ all of a sudden, partner passing it to you. Now?

5♦ from LHO? lol I might bid 6♠ now just to see his face, I hated my diamond doubleton when I passed 4♠ but now it is actually possible for partner to have a heart honnor, a club honnor, ♠Q and ♦ short, if one of them is an ace slam is on a finese.
Had partner bid 5♠ I think I would raise, but now he just offers a 5♠ its more like he is 6313 with ♠Q and an ace third.
Opponents make at least 7 trump tricks and a side card if we make slam, or else 2 side cards and we don't make slam. So no double, and I bid 5♠ only.

Qxxxx,Kxx,xxx,Ax looks like a 4 Spade bid. But Qxxxx,Akx,xx,Axx is one too, so it is really close between pass and raise. I try 5 ♠.
... After 5 ♦ I go for 6 ♠, because I give partner fewer diamonds then in my first example...

Seriously? After I spent ages deciding whether to move or not?
Either he's absurd, or he is confident we aren't making slam.
Partner has made a forcing pass, but if it's really love all I double if he's good and I bid if he's absurd.

He's absurd. This problem (and 1 & 2) was from a weak field in flight B (under 2000 masterpoints), which I will still qualify for for a couple more years. Problems 4-6 were from the open flight NAP qualifier, so a higher level of competition.

I tanked for long enough, and east may have been thinking that 5♦ was fairly safe because I would take the push to 5 - in her mind I was clearly thinking of bidding on. This was a fun hand.
