North bids 2\H (should be announced) to transfer to spades. South bids 2\S as
asked and now knows that there are at least  five spades in the North hand.

East now chooses no trumps by passing. (If East had held three/four spades, he

With 11 HCPs and no four-card major in a balanced hand, East uses a McKendrick
enquiry 2\S (should be alerted) to ask if West has 14 HCPs.

The response of 3\C is positive. West has 14 HCPs. 

East’s raise to 3NT shows this was a strength enquiry and not a transfer to a
minor.}

This time it's the wrong 25 HCPs, E/W will probably not make nine tricks.}
