I'd like to add, that I don't think this is a difficult problem double dummy. Was just a frustrating one at the table. (So I probably should have just included it in Interesting Bridge Hands before Justin makes the suggestion.)

not a tough problem for an expert, nor, I would think, for an advanced. While the layout is unusual, the theme is actually, if not common, far from rare.

Ok. For the experts in the house, how about changing the ♥6 with the ♥7 (which was the layout I was hoping for when I was sitting in the West seat)?

Still play. You needed East's hearts to be K76 or better.
... 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
