Bridge players have best memory

So 5S-6S? Very simple solution to this tough hand! Really like that Never heard of this kind of opening before. Thank you.

How would you bid it?

As North, I would not open, waiting for the opponents to bid a red suit and use a two-suiter overcall. If, in this case and the opponents do not bid, the bidding may go:

/
- 2♣ (traditional)
2♦ (two-suiters do not make positive rebid)
- 3♦ (real suit and real opening)
4♣ (now is the trouble)
- 4♦ (I'm single suited)
4♠ (My bidding system is defective)
- 4NT (I have a heart stopper, let's play here)
6NT (Considering you have 2♣ strength, I think 6NT is playable)
- //

Then, the contract fails.

However, if 2♣ can be freak, the bidding would still be the same since only single-suited freak hands are opened 2♣.

If North opens and plays weak jump shift:

1♣
- 1♦ (playing WJS 2♦, 3♦ are all weak)
2♠ (forcing to game)
- 7♦
// (oh s**t)

Then, the contract fails when the ♠K is off

If North does not open and East preempts with 3♥,
/ - (3♥) - 5♦ - (5♥) (LoTT)
/ (oh s**t) - (/) - X - (/)
/ - (//) (no one dare to bid)

Then, a slam is missed

I cannot find a good method to bid these hands and don't bother finding one.
