I really like this hand because it demonstrates that bridge is more than a game of percentages and technical ability.  Table presence and table feel are just as important.

Some assumptions must be made before proceeding into analysis;

(a) Inference #1, non-trump lead
(:) Inference #2, defense is attacking dummies suit

I do not want to type the remainder of the solution for the sake of letting someone else have the pleasure of being the first to solve problem. But I thought that it was a neat deal to emphasize a few things.

* Moral(s) of story:  

(a) It is good to understand "standard" defensive tactics not only for sake of defending, but for sake
of declaring when opps do something non-standard.

(:) Table feel and table presence are crucial parts of being a successful player.  Some people are born with it, others aquire it but few would argue against its necessity.
