As responder, you hold the given hand in an uncontested 2/1 GF auction:

Scoring: MP


1S – 2C
3C – 3H
4N - ?

If you decide to make a Blackwood response, use standard RKC: 0/3, 1/4, 2 w/o Q, 2 w Q.

I would probably have bid 1NT (forcing ) over 1♠ -- but that's not what the poll is :)
After the bidding above I will bid 5♥ (RKC resopnse for ♣ as I can't see it being anything else ;)

A new suit after a fit is found should show controll in that suit.
So i can't see what partners 4N can be other than RKCB so it's 5♥ to me.

I also don't see a problem here. The only problem might be if you play minorwood, so 4♣ would be RKC ♣, and then 4NT should have another meaning. But since you didn't mention the minorwood possibility, I guess this is no problem and asks keycards for ♣. So just bid 5♥...

Pard is not agreeing hearts as trump with 4N.

I'd start with 1N too, although 2N is an option for me, showing this type of hand.

Food for thought -

Why didn't North Blackwood directly over 2 clubs?
What did North learn from 3 hearts, which might be an attempt to get to 3N - secondary cards and not even a real suit?
Presumably North had a plan. What would he have done over 3N?

For this problem, a direct 2N would have been Jacoby

Abstain,
2♣ is quite a horrible bid, and now if 4NT is not RKCB then I don't want to know what it was, I'm not interested.

Now using RKC,if the trump suit were undefined,how to continue bidding?
So,4NT must be RKC for ♣.then the answer is 5♥.
