Why the right hand/wrong hand riddle? Well, the hand was declared from the right side because of the immediate heart ruff if North plays the contract. The hand was declared from the wrong side because it was North who should have played it! He came up with the rapid, and winning, analysis. Instead of drawing all the trumps, declarer should overtake diamondQ with diamondK (!) and ruff a low club high. Trumps are drawn as before and the ruffing heart finesse follows. clubK is cashed throwing a heart and dummy is finally entered with diamondA to cash heart10.

Easy eh?

I think not. A bit too much like double dummy.
