answer. Question fields Originally, the format of the show was that 100 questions would be asked without an overall subject. In its later format, the subject would change every ten questions, with 1–10 and 81–100 being general knowledge. Every fifth question was a true or false question, and question 100 took the form of a ludicrous fact that was almost always true. In the case of a tie, a 101st question, always true or false, was asked, and if both players got it right the faster player to answer won. All questions, answer options, and correct answers were displayed on-screen for viewers to see. Winnings The person with the most questions answered correctly received the nominal sum of £100 and was invited to return as champion in the next show. The players did not speak at all during each episode, other than to state their names and towns at the start of the show (with the champion stating their occupation instead); the winner only responded whether he/she would be able to return. Transmissions 100% Specials 100% Gold Specials 100% Sex Specials International versions Producer Pearson Television (Grundy's parent) brought the show to the United States in January 1999; originally hosted in the 1998 pilot by Mark Henning, the show went to series with Casey Kasem as host. This version offered $10 per correct answer, with a $99,000 bonus to any contestant who managed a perfect score (for a total of $100,000); it was never won during the show's brief run. The show, which aired on only seven stations (in Seattle, Washington; Columbus, Ohio; Dallas, Texas; Houston, Texas; Buffalo, New York; Jacksonville, Florida; and Tampa, Florida) on a limited run, did not last a full season. In Europe, the TV format was sold in France with the local version called 100% Question and in Italy with the same name of the original format.
