Glad to see someone else posit that partner's 3 !S may very well be natural. Picture seven spades headed by an honor or two. And little else. What to do?
Problem A: 4 !C This should still be forcing after my jump shift and that I have gone past 3 NT. But there is still the question of partner's cue-bid; is it asking for a stop, indictive of a trap pass, or showing support for my second suit? Thinking about 4 !S and 6 !C as alternatives.
more reactions to some very juicy points of view from you commenters tomorrow! curiouser and curiouser, as Alice used to say

May I have a 70-point bonus for predicting 100 for the false preference to stiff diamond queen?
PROBLEM C: 3NT -- #B, this #C and 3 of 5 later problems are totally insane. 3H 3NT and raise clubs all come to mind -- and look out!: the false preference to 3 diamonds will prolly get the 100!
