THE 1% Club viewers were left scratching their heads over a sneaky worded question – and it was game over for 11 contestants who fell for the trick.
Host Lee Mack couldn’t hide his grin as the brainteaser sparked groans across the studio.
The ITV show has become a huge hit since its launch in 2022, thanks to a combination of host Lee Mack‘s jokes and the fact viewers can play along at home.
The show tests 100 contestants on their logic, reasoning skills and common sense, rather than their general knowledge.
Each player has a £1,000 stake in the game, and if they make it to the final 1% question, they have a chance of winning a share of the jackpot.
However, Saturday’s episode saw a massive 11 players get knocked out by a trick question.
It was: Which word in this question would come first in alphabetical order in a standard dictionary?
The players were shown the sentence and had 30 seconds to work it out.
After the time was up and Lee revealed 11 people had got it wrong, he then shared the correct answer.
It was: a
Also in the episode, a very tough final question wiped out all five finalists.
It meant that the £97,000 prize pot up for grabs went to waste with not one single player getting the correct answer.
After a few shock early exits and surprisingly easier later questions, show host Lee Mack remained hopeful that one of the five on the floor could arrive at the correct answer.
Reading out the final question, Lee poised to the players: “What new word links the capitalised words below?”
He then read aloud this sentence which featured certain words capitalised: “My SON TED ate raw FOOD and got SICK, then went to BED with me by his SIDE.”
Thirty seconds were then put on the clock with the five remaining players hoping to get to the correct answer.
Hardest Quiz Show Questions
Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire – Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the “worst” question in the show’s history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: “From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?” The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000. The 1% Club – Viewers of Lee Mack’s popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: “Edna’s birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen’s birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir’s birthday must be the ‘X’ of January.” It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir’s birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence. The Chase – The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: “Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?” The options were – sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots – with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes.With the time up, Lee went round the men one-by-one to which they all gave different answers.
Whilst one admitted that he hadn’t even wrote anything down, another said they had picked “well” as their answers before someone else opted for “new”.
Unfortunately, all of them arrived at the incorrect answer.
Lee then went on to reveal how the correct answer was in fact, sea.
This is because “sea” could be placed at the start of each of the capitalised words in order to create another word.
Adding “sea” to “son” creates season whilst adding it to “ted”, created seated.
The same policy applied for the rest of the words.
It left Lee in disbelief as the prize pot had to be abandoned with none of them walking away with any money.
