@heywoodu Then we're all set. Let's see how it goes. 50:50 Expert Switch Team 15 Pts. 1 Million 14 Pts. 500,000 13 Pts. 250,000 12 Pts. 125,000 11 Pts. 64,000 10 Pts. 32,000 9 Pts. 16,000 8 Pts. 8,000 7 Pts. 4,000 6 Pts. 2,000 5 Pts. 1,000 4 Pts. 500 3 Pts. 300 2 Pts. 200 1 Pts. 100

That's the plan. That means it's now on you to decide how you want to play. You can choose between 3 lifelines (50:50, Switch, Expert) and the guaranteed 32,000 level or go for 4 lifelines (additional team expert) but no guaranteed 32,000. Also, you create your own luck by choosing a number between 1 and 5.

I thought that would take you longer to be ready but here we go, it's @heywoodu today on his first participation. Well done. heywoodu ♦ ♦ Netherlands

Alright then, time for another bit of quiz today. Our first player tonight will be the first one to confirm after this post, so Hot Seat is now OPEN.

It'll be a first come, first serve call. If you don't have time right away, you can try to "qualify" as the second contestant later.

We'll begin shortly in about 15 minutes. @heywoodu Also calling potential experts: @mrv86 @Olympian1010 @toulousain

@heywoodu Here's your reminder for tomorrow night. I'll start around 8 pm.
