Problem 1 resolved

Recall that I held x 98xx void AQTJ9xxx all white second seat at IMPs. The bidding went:

p p 1D 1S
p 2C p 2NT
3D 4C float. Partner had:

Qxxxx Qx AKTx Kx. 4C is cold, 3NT is down on a non-diamond lead, so I guess my 4C bid was right, but in retrospect I think I should have bid 3NT. Partner's 2NT opposite my passed-hand 2C advance suggests a fitting honor, and if his diamond king were elsewhere 3NT could easily have been cold, or they might lead the wrong major and he could have an ace, or they might lead a diamond (the opponent on lead claimed he was "never leading a diamond against that auction, come on"), or who knows.
