Here is an interesting bidding problem that my computer program to generate
bridge hands generated.  You can be playing matchpoints or imps or even
(gasp) rubber bridge, it doesn't matter.  All that matters is that you are
vulnerable.  East is dealer and there is no competition in the bidding.
The object of the game is to devise a reasonable and justifiable bidding
sequence that gets you to a reasonable 7D slam given these two hands:

			North

		  S: 6
		  H: AK762
		  D: 9632
		  C: J52

			South
	
		  S: AKT73
		  H: Q43
		  D: AKQT7
		  C:

Good luck and may you see more difficult hands in tournaments.
