How about this Romex sequence:
2C [1]	pass	2S [2]	pass
3D [3]	pass	4S [4]	pass
5C [5]	pass	5D [6]	pass
7D [7]	pass	pass	pass

1. Hand with less than 4 losers and 5 or more controls
2. Control showing response: 3 controls
3. first natural bid: diamond suit
4. splinter: fixing diamonds as trumps
5. control asking bid
6. answer: none in clubs
7. you have exactly the right 3 controls
