Did You Know?
Both the Italian team, Merano, and the Yugoslavian team of Karlovac were leading this heat before the final game, and the West German team, Bonn was in 3rd place. However, on the game itself, 'Musical Chairs', the Italians were eliminated first, quickly followed by the Yugoslavians. After this, the West German team had to last out for one more elimination round and outright victory was theirs. As it happened, the team lasted until the end and had to do battle with the British team from Douglas, Isle of Man in the final round - which was won by the Brits. This incidentally was the team's third win on the night, but alas none of which was on the Joker. See also Richard Farnham's article on this heat in the 'Comments' section of this website.
