Jerry Fusselman asked:

>How many clubs, and what distribution, does
>3C show?

Richard Hills asks:

Is the concept "aces are meant to beat kings"
included in the Law 75C caveat of "general
knowledge and experience"?

Likewise, are the concepts "when in doubt, bid
one more" and "competing for the partscore"
also general knowledge and experience?

Surely it is general knowledge and experience
that North's "distribution" might be that a
doubleton club is North's shortness, since
scattered values and a 6-2 club fit is enough
to compete to the three level at imps, if one
hopes to score +110 in 3C or +100 defending 3S.
