ANSWER: Your correct bid is five nötrump. You definitely want to play six unless your partner has shad- ed his bid. At the same time you have little interest in a Grand Slam con- tract.

Score 100% for five notrump, 60% for six notrump (an overbid) or four notrump (an underbid), 0 for any other bid.
