Understandable, but we will start easy and slowly here and maybe you've picked up the one or other thing from studying Marie Antoinette. Before we start, I need to ask you if you want 3 lifelines or 4. The 4th lifeline, as usual, is receiving help from the whole expert team but the safety net at 32,000 Points will be taken away. So may you select your format.

Good evening for a new night of quiz here. We will have two players tonight, @hckosice from Slovakia and @Olympian1010 from California, US. I hope everything's okay on your end, hckosice, as it is your turn right away. hckosice ♦ ♦ Slovakia Let me know when you're ready.

@Olympian1010 @mrv86 @dcro We will begin with hckosice today at 20:30 CET, followed by Olympian1010 if you want to be experts again.

Sunday 10th is still open and some others have not confirmed yet, so you could have a run on Sunday if you liked.
