With 4 cards in each Major suit you bid 3♥. Partner puts you in 3NT. What do you do? Pass or bid? You certainly do not pass. Partner's Stayman bid tells you he has a 4-card Major suit. His 3NT bid tells you the suit was not ♥s. Elementary, Watson, the suit must be ♠s. So you convert the 3NT bid to 4♠. If you want to make yourself happy you use Stayman, just imagine playing 3NT after a ♣ lead!  Deal 21
