MOSCITO auction
3♥ - 4♣
4♦ - 4N
6♠
4♣ shows 8 QP
4♦ starts the scan
4N shows 1-2 controls in Diamonds and 0 or 3 in Clubs
At this point in time, 6S looks cold.
We can't ask for the K of Hearts which gives us decent play for 7S
Might as well just place the contract

3♥ - 4♣ (QP ask, 8 QP)
We are missing 5QP, which generally means we have at least five-level safety and some slam chances. Continuing:
4♦ - 4♠ (one or three top spades, zero or two top clubs)
This means Axxxx x AKx xxxx or Axxxx K Axx xxxx or Axxxx K KQx xxxx; none of these are a good grand even if we add jacks so:
6♠ - Pass
a.k.a. Appeal Without Merit

4♦-4♠ PCB, odd spades w/ even clubs

1♣ 16+ - 1♥ = 4+ ♠ or 4♠ & 5♣/♦
1♠ RELAY - 2♥ = 5♠ & 4♣/♦
2 ♠ RELAY - 3♦ = 5=1=x=x
3♠ BETA - 4♠ = 5 controls (missing 1 red K)
5♦ CAB - 6♥ = AK♦ (missing K♥)
6♠ May need flat distribution

4H--4Nt (K of D ? --yes but no CQ)
5C--5D (Q of D ?---no)
5H--5S (extras --No)
6S
if RR hold the stiff KofH ill be able to reach 7.
---------------------
method 2
3H---4C (aces)---2 but even KQs
rest is idem
-------------------
in CClub
Ill do a reverser and the shape end a 3C.

For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

...3D
Both QPs ask and RKC ♠ would work well on this hand. Responder can have as little as XXXXX K KQX QXXX on a bad day, but a holding like Axxxx x KQx Qxxx is enough to give us an chance and we won't get that information without DCB.
Ergo:
3H....4C (QP ask, 8 QPs)
4♦...4N (DCB, ♠/♦ controls, AKQ of ♣ or nothing)
At this point, we might still have two Aces and K♥, Q♣, but since we have the luxury of the ♠ suit, we can soldier on:
5♣ - 5♦ (DCB; no second ♠ card)
5♥ - 5N(DCB (smugly); second ♦ card)
6♠

3♥ - 4♣ (QP? - 8)
4♦ - 4♠ (control parity - odd + even KQJ in ♠)
At this point, responder possible hands are Axxxx x AKj xxxx (lower case honor means possible to have) or Axxxx K Ajx xxxx. Both of which has good play for 6♠, but nothing higher, so we sign off in 6♠.
