Richard Hills:

So we have 14 cards exposed during the auction.  Under Law 24B West
must pass for the rest of the auction.  Under Law 24C North must pass
for the rest of the auction.  If East chooses to call 6S and East-West
then declare that contract, South then has 13 penalty cards.

What's the problem?
