How do you walk the six?

Puzzle

Saturday night, four folks, the dominoes still warm from the shuffle. You are South. Your partner is North. You bid 31 in sixes, and it is your lead. Nothing has been played.

You are holding both dimes. The double-five is ten. The six-four is ten, and it is also a trump. The three nickels are in your hand too. That is a pretty hand. It is also a hand that gets spilled if you lead the wrong bone.

Look at the tiles. Then decide what you lead, and what you are trying not to give away.

The answer goes up Sunday morning, so you can argue about it over coffee.

South's hand

South bid 31. Trump is sixes.

No tricks yet.

North-South have 0. East-West have 0.

South to play.
