Over thirty contestants gathered in Vercelli's with each table limited to a maximum of six persons. There were six rounds of questions, set by committee members. These included a set on general French culture, a visual round based on French and German logos and buildings, followed by rounds on music, literature, and finishing with geography. There was lively discussion within each table as contestants were 'agreeing' on their answers: some had differing views about Beethoven's birthplace, the largest island in the Mediterranean, and the year of Amy Winehouse's birth. In the end one team had to win and the victors received some delicious French and German speciality biscuits.

A hearty supper was served mid way in the evening and consisted of pasta in a tomato sauce, and a selection of pizzas, with salad and potato wedges and sauces on the side.
