You open a 12-14 No-Trump, North doubles and South removes to 2heart, the final contract. You lead spadeA, dummy plays low and partner follows with the two, denoting an odd number. Presumably he would have protected with 2spade holding five, so you can assume that he started with three including the ten, because otherwise South might have unblocked. Over to you.
