I've seen this auction a couple times now. Like many GIB sequences; it should not exist. (can't find most recent hand link but in last day or 2)

1N 2C
2D 4S
P

As ill-advised as the bid is, every time it's happened it has not been with anything resembling the proposed description.
It has been with 54(40) hands that are not even strong enough to Smolen like QJxxx QJxx Jxxx ----

I open 1N to give GIB a chance to follow a simple path; now it can't even do that.

Found latest -- here is link

I guess I have been fortunate Jim, I have never been blessed with this GIB auction.

And yes, it should not exist. 6-4 major hands with no slam interest should re-transfer at the 4 level. Sorry about those who won't read the description and will pass it out in the transfer suit.
