5C was 1/4 Aces, so Pass would be 1 Aces, any other bid 4 Aces.

Give my vote for 6C - places the values and ask partner to bid grand with for example: Qxxx,AQx,xxxx,Qx.

Cheers, Vlastimil

First, why on earth would Responder ostensibly sign-off knowing the 2C Opener can't possibly only hold 1 key card ?
 
Anyway, it has been suggested that holding 4 keys, you should continue by answering the trump Q-ask .
     Here, without the sQ, you would bid 6S
          But that makes no sense either.  Responder could easily have asked with 5D!

I just noticed the weird bidding.  Opener only has a 4 card Sp suit.
I smell fish.

The nice bid they found was 6H over the signoff PRETENDING they have hearts controlled. Now I had to find a heart lead from KJxxxx which I failed to do. Nicely done.

I wouldn't have found the 2C or 2S bids, either. I guess I'm just not as innovative as this character was.
