With your side passing throughout, the bidding goes:

1NT(1) 2♣(2)
2♦(3) 2♠(4)
3♦(5) 3NT

1) 15-18
2) Puppet Stayman
3) 1 4 card major, no 5 card majors.
4) 4 hearts, may not have 4 spades.
5) After 20 seconds. Director was called. Opponents have no agreement on the bid. Director, looking bored, tells you to call him after the hand.

Partner leads the 6 of spades, 4th from a non-prime number, 3rd from a prime number.

Dummy has:

KJ4
QJ94
A654
J4

You have
7
KT32
KQJ
98765

How do you signal your partner on the first trick, and why?

Well, *I* thought it was funny!

I think I'll try a prism signal. I'm surprised that this obvious choice was not on your list.
"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

Why did you call the director? Because your opponent dared to think?
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Yep. You know the rules...you can't just agree there was a hesitation and move on. Combined with the meaning of the bid being 'no agreement'...

I don't....think I hand enough... um...ellipses...yeah that's it...ellipses...in the above line....

I don't really need to look at my hand.

I'm showing count, but of course not yet...
