I was fooling around with the anonymous play on my iPad. I was sitting South with the basic GIB's around the rest of the table.

Even r/w, I'm a bit surprised that East didn't make a call.

Actual play, -2 for -100.

Or West, for that matter. Certainly East should not pass out 4♥.

If this were an ATB problem, I would give 50% to West and 100% to East. Anytime a side gets +100 at the 4 level when they can make 13 tricks in three strains, including NT, someone made a mistake. In this case, EW can make 18 tricks. But they are forced to throw away winners on the last 5 tricks.
