This hint comes from Michael Ware. Michael has represented NZ on world bridge stages many times and won countless NZ Pairs and Teams Championships. So when he gives a hint I’m keen to follow it.
North - 16 HCP: ♠ 3 ♥ AQ65 ♦ QT4 ♣ AKJT2
South - 17 HCP: ♠ KQ82 ♥ KT ♦ AK98 ♣ Q74
With a combined 33 HCP they should definitely be aiming to bid a small slam, but of the 16 NS pairs, only 5 did.
