I have interest, but I have no way to know if partner can peel one major without my help and lose only one trick in the other, even if he says he has the aces. Pass for me.

partner doesn't need more than 9 HCP to open the bidding with 6-5 majors. its true that the right 9 HCP make slam on a finese though, but I'd still pass.

Pass. Like others have said, you're interested, but there's just no way to find out if partner has the right cards for slam to make.
If pard has the wrong cards (like KJxxxx AQxxx - xx) even 4 might be a challenge.

Pass, our 16HCP aren't worth 16, our distribution sucks,...

I'd say that the allocation of the honnors mostly in the minors is what really sucks, but you could argue that that is a consecuence of having only 2 cards in the majors

It is far more likely that game is down than that slam makes

partner has heard our bidding we have maybe a K above a minimum
but the complete lack of fit and lack of body in our own 2 suits is a siren
call for caution. P apparently ha no slam aspirations and we have no
reason to assume they are wrong. PASS.
