North asked for kings with 5NT and signed off when South showed none - spadeK had been shown over 4NT. It might have been interesting if North had followed with 5diamond and then 6club over a 5spade sign off from South. The difficulty is persuading South of the importance of clubQ.

That's all hypothetical anyway - how would you play 6spade from the North hand on the diamondQ lead?
