This instance was the 60% question – meaning just over half of the population would be expected to answer correctly.
Lee asked the remaining players: “Which animal replaces the question mark?”
A row of animals showed an ostrich, a horse and a ladybird followed by a question mark.
The available options were A) Snake, B) Giraffe or C) Spider.
Once 30 seconds was up, it was revealed 15 people had given the wrong answer and were eliminated.
The correct answer was Spider, as it was explained: “The number of legs on the animals increase from 2 to 4 to 6, so the next animal in the sequence needs to have eight legs.
Since debuting three years ago, the game show is well-known for its tricky puzzles.
A previous episode saw a whopping 30 people wiped out on a smiley face brainteaser.
The question posed: “Have a look at this picture. Are there more happy faces or sad faces?”
Shown on screen were 18 emoji-style faces arranged in three rows of six.
Once the time limit was up, Lee revealed 30 people had answered incorrectly and were therefore out.
The right answer turned out to be “happy” – as there were 10 happy faces and eight sad ones.
With his trademark quick wit, Lee quipped: “Well, there’s 30 sad ones now!”
On another occasion, 18 people went out on a tricky alphabet question.
Players were shown four words and asked to spot the one that does not contain three consecutive letters from the alphabet.
The options were, Unopenable, Understandable, Unquestionable, and Undefineable.
The 1% Club’s Most Difficult Questions
The 1% Club sees 100 contestants try and make it to the 1% question and be in with a chance to win a share of the jackpot. Here are just some of the show’s most difficult teasers.
- Players had to compare and contrast three images of butterflies then explain which of the butterflies were exactly the same on both sides. Find the image and answer here.
- Players were shown groups of six symbols then asked which were in the same order whether you read them from left to right or right to left. Find the image and answer here.
- Players were asked how many different combinations were there of displaying four digits on one hand. Find the answer here.
- Peter had recently found his old diary that he’d written in secret code but he couldn’t remember how to decipher what he wrote. Players were asked to crack the code and find out what the bold word was. WH89 I GR1W UP I WA92 21 B8 A 5L1RI72. Find the image and answer here.
- Players were tasked with working out how many eyes they could see in an image, which was made up of letters, symbols and emojis. Find the image and the answer here.
- A 1% question was based on a grid of numbers going in ascending order from 1 to 49. Starting on 25, the middle square, SEEN took you to square 27. From there, NEW took you to 20. From there, which square would SEWN take you to? Find the image and the answer here.
- And finally, an easy one – What common food in bold has had its letters rearranged into alphabetical order? ABDER If you really don’t know you can find the answer here.
Ultimately, the answer turned out to be C, ‘Unquestionable’.
‘Unopenable’ contains ‘NOP’, ‘Undefineable’ includes ‘DEF’, and ‘Understandable’ also hides ‘RST’.
That left Unquestionable as the only one without a consecutive alphabetical trio, making it the right answer.
The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
