An extreme hand.
East will open with a weak 2♥ (with great shape).
South with a strong hand has a choice between double with the aim of bidding ♠ s to show a very strong hand. Other choices like 1♠ and 4♠ could be perceived as weak.
Over double or 1♠ West will bid 4♥ , giving North a difficult decision and will probably pass. Over 1♠ he is more likely to bid 4♠ as his hand is great in ♠ s.
Over 4♠ passed round to West, West will bid to the leval of fit (or law of total tricks) 5♥ which will either be passed out or N/S may bid 5♠ .
4♠ make by N/S and 5♥ makes by E/W
A difficult one. |

Classic duplicate. The side that wins the auction at the right level will win.
West has a choice to open vulnerable with his poor 11HCPs or not. The K♥ is not worth a full 3HCPs. However he has a good opening bid in 1♦ followed by a 2♣.rebid.
West opens
If West opens 1♦ North may overcall 1♠ East will overcall 2♥ and south will raise to 2♠ .
West will rebid 3♣ and East will bid 3♥ .
West and North pass.
North may pass and East will bid a preemptive 3♥ .
South will find it difficult to double at this vulnerability.
West passes and North bids 2♠
East will not be able to overcall and everyone else will pass.
So 2♠ makes for North = +110
2♥ makes for South = -110
3♥ -1 = -100
