Interactive science show using items you can find in and around the home.
The group divides into teams with each team given 100 IQ points to begin with, and, over a series of visually spectacular experiments, the aim is to build up as many points as possible. The teams must decide how confident they are in each prediction and risk their IQ points accordingly. The experiment is then carried out, with points awarded for correct answers. But beware, you could end up losing everything.
