In the best of all possible worlds, you could make Grand Slam
with a trump fit of 3-3 and a split of 5-2:

			NORTH:
			S-- A Q 9
			H-- 4
			D-- Q T 9 8 7 6 4 3 2
			C-- void


WEST:						EAST:
S-- 7 4						S-- 8 6 5 3 2
H-- 9 6 5 2					H-- T 8 7 3
D-- K J 5 					D-- A
C-- 9 8 7 3					C-- J T 5 	


			SOUTH:
			S-- K J T
			H-- A K Q J
			D-- void
			C-- A K Q 6 4 2

Never mind the auction.  North and South started bidding wildly
until they committed themselves to about the four level when they
realized that they had a misfit hand.  They finally agreed upon a
trump that they each had some of (and had top values in), and
like all people who use Precision Bidding, went to slam.

A spade lead from east would defeat the contract, although east
would never pull trump.  Instead, he lead his low heart, which
south grabs with the Ace.  South realizes that as his cards lie,
he has ten winners in his hand and three on the board, and only
if east and west are not allowed to ruff.  He prays to the god of
distribution (who was in a bizarre mood for this hand) and
proceeds to cash his winners.  He made it because the defenders
cards fell the only way that they possibly could for him to make
it.  The question is, how did he play it??
