4N for me
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.
Bridge should be fun!

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.
