Lee Mack hosts a quiz in which every question focuses on logic and common sense. In each programme, 100 contestants compete for a chance to win as much as £100,000. The format gives every participant an equal opportunity to claim the top prize.

The series is a quiz programme presented by comedian Lee Mack. It follows a traditional game‑show layout, with Mack introducing each round and guiding contestants through a set of challenges that test mental acuity. The host’s role is to pose the questions, keep the pace moving, and ensure that every participant confronts the same logical puzzles. This format underpins the entire show. All of the queries posed on the show are centred on logic and common‑sense reasoning. Rather than relying on obscure trivia, the questions demand that contestants apply straightforward problem‑solving skills, making the competition accessible yet mentally demanding. Because the focus is on everyday reasoning, the questions are designed to be approachable yet still require careful thought. This emphasis on practical thinking distinguishes the programme from typical quiz formats. Each episode brings together a hundred contestants, all of whom answer the same set of logical challenges. The large field creates a lively atmosphere, with participants competing side by side while the host moves from one player to the next. Every entrant has an equal opportunity to progress as the questions are uniformly applied. All contestants answer the same set of logical challenges, ensuring a level playing field. The ultimate prize on the show can reach £100,000, meaning any of the one‑hundred players could walk away with a life‑changing sum. This high‑stakes element adds tension to each round, as contestants know that a single correct answer could bring them close to the top reward. The chance of winning such an amount makes every round significant.
