Answer

Bid Farberl. Two Kings with their Queens behind them, seven court cards in two long suits, and only two Taroks: exactly the Farberl profile. In a no-trump contract your dead Taroks are only two cards, and your courts rule every trick. You can name five winners before you speak: K♦, Q♦, C♦, K♠, Q♠.
