MP, best hand South, Instant, pro GIB 30

Notwithstanding that I only made 8 tricks, with Hearts and Clubs both misbehaving and best opening lead, I don't think that North should settle for a part-score opposite an opening bid, even if that opener does reveal itself to be a minimum weak NT.

I wonder whether it would have passed at IMP. Any way to tell?

(Obviously not the most bizarre of GIB actions to be posted here of late)

Psyche (pron. sahy-kee): The human soul, spirit or mind (derived, personification thereof, beloved of Eros, Greek myth).
Masterminding (pron. mPosted ImagesPosted ImagetPosted Imager-mPosted ImagendPosted Imageing) tr. v. - Any bid made by bridge player with which partner disagrees.

Thanks for reporting.

GIB wasn't intended to pass, has to bid 3NT, but after second thought ( simming ) its picked to pass.

Fixed this in v31.

Should (or does) the description of 2N include showing stops in both majors?
