The inaugural Hot 100 paper was sat by 146 people representing 18 nations. As the event originated in the UK, this is where the majority of participants were from, but feedback from the others taking part has been excellent and so we very much hope to swell numbers of participants with the next paper (set by our friends in Norway).

Kevin Ashman, Pat Gibson and Jesse Honey all show their mettle with stormingly high scores (82, 77, 77 respectively). And a special mention should be made for the German quizzers, many of whom are junior players. Lots of great quizzers to watch out for there!
