Lee Mack fronts a quiz in which every question tests logic and common sense, challenging participants to think clearly and practically. A field of one hundred contestants competes for the chance to win a maximum prize of £100,000, with the top prize awarded to the ultimate winner.

The programme is a television quiz show presented in a single‑episode format. It follows the familiar game‑show structure, inviting a large group of participants to test their wits under the guidance of a host. The setting is designed to be straightforward, focusing on the competition itself rather than any surrounding drama. In each installment, the questions centre on logic and common‑sense reasoning. One hundred contestants step up to answer these puzzles, each one designed to gauge how quickly and accurately they can think on their feet. The challenges are deliberately varied, ensuring that participants must draw on everyday problem‑solving skills rather than specialised knowledge. The stakes are high: any of the hundred players could walk away with a cash prize of up to £100,000. This potential reward adds a palpable tension to the proceedings, as each correct answer brings the possibility of a life‑changing sum. The prize structure is simple – the better you perform, the closer you get to the top reward. Throughout the episode, the contestants move through the series of logic‑based questions, each hoping their common‑sense instincts will carry them through. The format keeps the focus firmly on the mental challenge, making the quiz an engaging test of everyday reasoning for both participants and viewers alike.
