Assuming best defense, find all game level or higher contracts makable by N/S.

I think 5NT is makeable. You duck a club and a diamond then West is triple squeezed when 3 rounds of spades are cashed.

This looks like a Mollo hand. 6S makes by South since West has no trump to lead. HH was South no doubt and Papa was West. Karapet East (who doubled) and RR North

Spoiler


Similarly, make 6♠ in the south on any lead here.

:) About a year ago, I posted a deal with that precise ending on BBO. I hadn't seen it published before :)

RR opened 1♦, Hog couldn't reply 2♣ because that might make RR declarer in 3NT so he bid 1♠ (standard, to prevent a spade lead against NT). Rabbit couldn't bid NT or rebid diamonds, so he decided to raise with AKQ spades. Now hog bid 3NT per the plan but RR felt his hand was too good and cuebid 4♦. Hog tried 4NT to play, to which rabbit replied with his number of keycards and corrected 5♠ to 6♠ because he had 3, not 0 :)

Lord MolyB's spoiler (above) gives the solution. Cash your plain-suit tops and ruff a heart low (LHO must under-ruff while RHO follows suit). Both opponents are left with only trumps. Poor RHO can't avoid ruffing dummy's club exit to lead into dummy's tenace.
