Deal 16	♠   ♥   ♦   ♣		WEST   NORTH   EAST   SOUTH 1♦ pass 3♦ pass 3NT pass  BID    The bidding is shown. Decide what you would say, then click BID. You have great ♦ support and perhaps 15 points. The "perhaps" is because partner may have only 3 ♦s, and if you are the long-trump hand any ruffs you take will probably not increase the number of trump tricks your side makes. But still, you have a great hand. So you bid 3♦. Partner now says 3NT. What do you bid?
