I was playing Robot Reward, which is not so much about real bridge as it is about making games and slams quickly. However, I got dealt a beautiful hand and the first 4 bids all went normally.



Now what? Knowing GIB doesn't play exclusion and probably has no good tools to continue, I just went ahead and bashed out Blackwood without checking things too closely.

Rather surprisingly, 4NT wasn't Blackwood. Can you guess what it shows?

Some nested spoiler tags for a slow reveal:

It's a close race between this description and the one where it promises 14 cards, but this wins for me.
