Problem 217

composed by M.J. Sullivan, 1974 (hearts modified by Hugh Darwen, 2002, to avoid a dual)

This is very similar to an earlier problem.  The similarity was coincidental.

The DR of this one might reflect the fact that several solvers back in 1974 recognised the similarity.

DR3	♠ A ♥ QJ105 ♦ A87654 ♣ AQ
♠ KJ ♥ 98 ♦ K109 ♣ K108765		♠ 987654 ♥ K743 ♦ J ♣ J9
	♠ Q1032 ♥ A62 ♦ Q32 ♣ 432

South to make three no-trumps.  West leads the ♣7.
