Andy’s Pre-Game Thoughts:
Michael Hutchinson has been playing incredibly well over his first two victories, getting nearly half the clues on the board; he has absolutely figured out the timing on the buzzer! Today, Oakham’s James Nicholls and Leicester’s Pip Duvall will attempt to stop him.

I immediately thought the number of border countries was 5 but when I couldn’t think of all of them, I dropped to 4.
Hi please explain when does Michael take home his winnings or does he face another champion ?
(Admin note: Future game spoilers redacted.)
He plays until he loses and will take home all winnings when he does. (Though, I expect that if he wins until the end of the series, he will be paid out at the end of the series.)
