What do you lead?

ANSWER: Your correct lead is the deuce of hearts. On the bidding there is a distinct chance that your partner will be able to ruff the first or second heart lead. Since your Ace of spades is a sure quick entry, it is the best play to defeat the hand. Score 100% for the heart lead, 0 for any other lead.
