Last night pard and I held:

SOUTH (dealer)
Qxx
10xx
QJ
AKQ10x

NORTH
KJx
AJ8xxx
AK
Jx

Most Souths opened 1C or 1NT, depending on methods, and a huge number of
pairs got to the impossible 6H contract.

The diamond duplication is, indeed, as ugly as it gets ..but I wondered
whether folk in here had methods/suggestions to avoid reaching such a
doomed contract.
