A little history: when I played the weekly free instant tournament I noticed you could replay and try for 100%. I never gave it my all, but during the pandemic I did it, and after making it public, I found out there were people out there trying it before me 
I use the concept 'natural' to refer to hands where you could get to 100% by doing 'normal' things, or maybe deviating a bit from the normal. For example, when opening 1NT with 14 gets you to a making game nobody else bid or when dropping an honour when everyone finessed.
I would also like to ask people to use the spoiler tag for giving solutions, some of us might want to try to solve the hands ourselves
Another request is to have a Total Points available as a ranking.
Finally, kudos to the Mediterranean people who as of late have been the first to reach 100% (It used to be Matt from Australia)

I beat you in 4 hands 
You mean the 200% on 2, 5, 6 and 8 ?
I was taking a bit of pride in finding the smallest 10 points needed for the 100%. Different strategy I guess
