Enjoyed the hands and the reasoning behind your choices. I learn from every problem.
On hand 3, the proper play for East at trick 1 is Q from QJxx, to reassure your partner a card earlier. If you play the J, he has to wait for declarer to play low to realize that his play didn't cost a trick.
However, please lose the politically correct “they” and “their”. Partner is singular , therefore traditionally , “he” and “his” or if you prefer, “she” and “her”.
I want to ask for key cards in hearts, not diamonds. I can still bid the diamond slam without confusion after my partner answers key cards in hearts. Besides, 6H might be the best contract.

Really enjoyed this particular quiz. Thanks for your efforts, and cheers from the Dalmatian coast!
Excellent examples with clear commentary.
