Good hand for ... Rollover Gerber!
2♣ - 2♦
2NT - 3NT
4♣ - 4♦ (0 aces)
4♥ - 4♠ (0 kings)
5♣ (queens?)
Seriously, I'd probably just blast 6NT unless partner would raise on Jxx Jxx xxxx xxx.

Bid 4♥ over 3NT - Zooming Rollover Gerber for queens.

Grandma bidding: 2♣2-♦ (waiting)
6NT (30-31 balanced)
Of course, when I was taught this, nobody mentioned whether 7♣ is now Stayman or not.

I don't understand the auction to date -- is 2NT forcing or something?

I assume 2NT was forcing. Now I bid 4♠, which is obviously forcing to 4NT and showing my lowest 4-card suit. If partner signs off in 4NT, I'll give up.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

I don't understand what 2N is either, you cannot play the 0-8 neg with an unlimited 2N rebid and expect to get these hands right.
2♣-2♦-4N (30-31) would be rather unlucky not to make (we play a form of Kokish so get plenty of ranges), but I might consider showing 28-29 balanced with 2♥ then 3N to give partner a chance to show a really unbalanced hand on the way or enquire over this with the same methods we use over 2N.

2NT forcing, you have a much easier work if partner shows 5 hearts or 4 spades at the 3 level. 2NT its 24+ for us, but you can take it as 25+ if it fits your ranges better.

Partner denied 4♠ (I assume SEF or something similar) and while 6NT could have no play facing a yarborough, i cannot imagine stopping below 6NT and i do not have tools to investigate a possibly superior minor suit slam . So at the table i would probably try 5NT asking partner to choose bewteen 6 and 7.

Even though partner didn't bid Stayman, I still think we should investigate a spade contract. Qxxx Jxx Jxx Jxx is a raise to 3NT, but 6S is much better than 6NT.

If you were playing Benji then you could go with:
2♣ - 2♦;
4NT = 30-31 balanced
Or better yet,
1♣ - 1♦; 3NT = 29-30 balanced
1♣ - 1♦; 1♥ - 1♠; 3NT = 31-32 balanced
2♣ - 2♦;
4NT = 30-31 balanced
Or better yet,
1♣ - 1♦; 3NT = 29-30 balanced
1♣ - 1♦; 1♥ - 1♠; 3NT = 31-32 balanced
