Answer
If North were on lead, this would be a breeze by drawing the enemy
trumps; but South cannot do this. If South leads winners, East and West will
each win a trump trick. There is only one solution: South must lose a trick
to the singleton
 K, as
silly as it might seem.
Cash the  A and pitch
the  Q from North, then
lead the  J (or queen).
West must give North the lead, and South jettisons his top diamonds on
North’s aces to leave the North hand high.
