Will you be able to guess the correct hand?
Will you be able to determine which of the four suggested hands corresponds to North’s bidding in the given auction, and what you would have done with the three others?
3♣ is a Diamond transfer, and 4♣, going beyond 3NT, shows slam interest.
This therefore excludes hand 1, a 5–5 two-suiter in the minors with only 10 HCP, which should be described by a Club transfer (2♠), followed by a natural bid in Diamonds (3♦), a sequence that allows the partnership to play in 3NT.

Yes. i found it. I think that hand n.3 will end up probably in 6NT
Fun and interesting. Above my level of playing but fun to try and analyze and answer.
I do play Texas in diamond on 2NT.
This leaves 3c for 5-5 minor weak, and 3d for 5-5 minor FG.
Not clear to me the bidding: Anne says 1NT – 2s – 3c – 3d is hand 1.
I do play that sequence to explain strong hand willing to play in clubs, and diamond singleton.
I learnt a lot . A really good exercise.
Was definitely looking for a slam so had to be hand 4 . Most points and a singleton club.
