I guess you passed and missed the slam?

At least the majority does and so will I take my money in 4 SpadeX .

Why should you suppose that? When I post a problem it's usually because I think it interesting, or because somebody did something that I found surprising.

When this occurred in the England Premier League, at least two players out of eight did something other than pass followed by pass.

... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Partner had x Q8x AK8xxx AQ8, and defending 4♠x gets you 500. The full hand is here:

Fewer than half of the pairs who held these hands managed a plus score (though I expect that in some cases partner overcalled 5♦ rather than doubling 4♠).
