The original problem:
   Seeing all four hands, make seven spades against the best defense.

                      S T932
                      H AQ5
                      D AQ5
                      C AK2
	S --                	  S QJ
        H JT987                   H K432
        D JT987                   D K432
        C QJT                     C 987

		      S AK87654
                      H 6
                      D 6
                      C 6543

While it is easy, there are pitfalls.

This is obviouly a double squeeze: squeeze both West and East.
Take the opening lead on the board whatever it is.  For simplicity,
let's assume the opening lead is Q of C.  Then run four rounds of trumps.
Be sure to throw North's T9 of S under South's AK.  

			S --
			H AQ5
			D AQ5
			C AK2
	S --				S --
	H JT9				H K43
	D JT9				D K43
	C JT				C 98
			S 654
			H 6
			D 6
			C 654

Now lead a spade.  West is squeezed.
