So Hot Seat taken by @mrv86, closely edging out @Wanderer. Another second appearance tonight! mrv86 ♦ ♦ Mexico You have seen what can happen in the middle section. I also remind you what happened last time when you lost on your Pts. 250,000 question. It's a long way to climb up there again. I need you to choose between 3 and 4 lifelines and also give me a random number 1, 2, 4 or 5.

Sorry, hot seat taken by mrv as he was a tad quicker.

Alright, time for a second player tonight. As earlier, the first to reply gets to play. Hot Seat OPEN.

I also remember, as someone who took French, listening in Spanish education once and they were reading a text and every 5th word was "macedonia". I thought, why would they talk about Macedonia so often until I saw, that's what they call a fruit salad. Thanks again, @hckošice, for playing. It will be better next time! I need a quick break for a moment and then we're looking for another player!
