There have appeared in print over the years hands involving losing
a low trump early in order to make a slam.  Believe it or not, it is
possible to construct a hand where the first round of trumps must be
lost to the three in order to make the slam.  Can anyone do it?

(The solution appeared a few years ago in Bridge World as an inferential
problem.)
