This happened last Friday at SCBA when I was playing with Danen. I was sitting

Surveying dummy, the first thing that crossed my mind was to strangle partner =). But to the task at hand, how to make 3NT? Or at least limit the damage? I ducked the heart lead and received a diamond back. Then I led a spade, won by the A, after another diamond return, I led a spade to the T and K. The club finesse worked so I took a heart, 5 diamonds, 1 spade and 2 clubs.
Confused? I reproduced the hand from the hand record sheet. In reality, the W and E hands were exchanged when we played them!
