South played in a making 6♣X contract.
After a lengthy postmortem, E/W discovered they could not make any game, and 6♣ by south was unbeatable.
Construct all four hands so that they fit the above statements. Also minimize the N/S HCP.
Become yourself.

Here's my initial attempt. 6C makes on any lead by establishing 2 long diamond tricks. As for EW, they go down trivially in clubs, diamonds, spades and NT. In hearts, the defense has to be pretty specific, played by East, diamond ruff, spade ruff diamond ruff, ace of clubs. And played by West, spade ruff, diamond ruff, club to the ace, diamond ruff.

NS need about 3 HCP to make 6♣ :)
but are likely to need more to prevent any EW game :(
