Solution (Updated Feb 24th 2015)
If you take the finesse at trick one, lose, and a spade comes back, then you are forced to take the spade finesse.
If you don't take the finesse at trick one, then you can give yourself an extra chance: Qx(x) of clubs.
Win the A of diamond, draw one round of trump, play AK club, trump to dummy and ruff a club. If the Q has not dropped yet, then you play a trump to dummy, and ruff the fourth club. Now exit with the DQ.
If LHO has the DK (as the finesse takers at trick one hope), then LHO will be endplayed to give you your 12th trick.
If RHO has the DK and returns a spade, you take the finesse.
This is what you see:
| IMPS None | North ♠ 43 ♥ KQT94 ♦ A2 ♣ J432 | |
| South ♠ AQ5 ♥ AJ8765 ♦ Q3 ♣ AK |
