. . . because now it's time to tax your brain over how to play 4heart from the North seat. East's lead is diamondQ, which you decide to duck. East switches to heart4 and it goes six, eight and you win with the ten. After crossing to dummy with spadeA, no exciting things happening, you lead clubJ and West plays low.

Back to you again.
