Problem A: No doubt, 2S. I imply I have tolerance for clubs. Give partner the choice.
Problem B: 1NT after going round and round: three possibilities.  I passed the first go round to allow partner to double and I convert. That didn't
                       happen so now I'll bid 1NT showing hearts.
Problem C:  Pass, I just don't believe in giving opponents a chance to find their major fit.
Problem D:  C: I'm sticking with 2d. With three major suit top honors outstanding, bidding slam is risky unless
                  partner has interest. 
Problem E:  3c. Since partner implied having 6 clubs, I'm giving him a chance to pass or bid 3nt. I've bid my hand to the
                  fullest. He could easily have values in spades.
Problem F:  3H. If West has long clubs along with spades, he can make 2 spades. There's always the chance my partner has
                  diamonds with me.
Problem G:  Dble. West is broke. He passed the first round of bidding.
Problem H:  C A looks like a trap. Looks too obvious. But......like Todd, I hate leads - at least dealing with MSC!

Problem A: Pass        Close but hope to cash in for the reward.
Problem B: 4 C          Patner has no idea if I have anything more than 6 pts. Didn't finish describing my hand.
Problem C: Pass         Hope again to pick up the marbles. No where to go.
Problem D: 2D           If this is a trap, I fell for it hook, line and sinker. If it weren't for the foot note I'd bid 2 S.
Problem E:  5D          5D. Does my partner have spades and clubs?
Problem F:  Yes, 5D    Very comfortable thinking this is unusual NT, name my better minor.
Problem G: 3S           No problem here. Dismiss the H queen, 17 pts, what I would do at the table.
Problem H:  C 10       No hesitation here. Least likely to lose a trick.

I think F 4nt is choose your minor. Regardless of whether it's Blackwood or UN NT, Diamonds is safe no matter which way you go.

Problem A: This could be a powerful playing hand with a double fit. I can see it making 6d, not as much slam in hearts. Need more information: 2S
Problem B: Give partner a chance. I have clubs with him. 4C
Problem C: Better than a limit count. Let's try to right side this hand. Also gives partner a chance to support spades if holding 3.
Problem D: Let's not leave partner in the dark, 4NT
Problem E: Don't really think of any other bid: 2S
Problem F.  I can see three tricks leading the heart K and continuing to partner's A and back for a ruff. Surely he has a trick to add to mine: Dble
Problem G: I'm going for the set: Dble
Problem H: This hand seems to call for a trump to defend against a cross ruff. But too risky. C K
