17 contestants thought they had just survived the easiest picture puzzle of the night… then everything fell apart. A deceptively simple image challenge on The 1% Club suddenly turned into one of the season’s biggest elimination waves as 17 players overlooked a tiny detail hiding in plain sight. When the answer was revealed, disbelief swept through the studio, with viewers admitting they had stared at the same picture and still missed the clue that changed everything. Sometimes the simplest image doesn’t test what you can see—it tests what your brain refuses to notice.

ONE question stumped plenty of players on the most recent episode of The 1% Club.

The popular quiz programme has become a staple of ITV‘s entertainment offerings and works by testing players on common sense and logic rather than general knowledge.

Hosted by Lee Mack the show sees 100 contestants try and make it to the 1% question and be in with a chance to win a share of the jackpot.

The questions start from the higher end of the scale and those which the majority of people got right, presumably meaning they’re easier to answer for more people.

However, the 70% question on Saturday’s show which involved counting pairs of scissors left 17 people stumped and booted from the game.

For this 70% puzzle, Lee asked: “How many scissors are there in the image below?”

The scissors appeared in the image is a state of disarray, stacked on top of each other with some pairs left open and others neatly laid on the floor.

Of the remaining players, a whopping 17 got the answer wrong.

The correct answer was six pairs of scissors in the image.

The major upset in Saturday’s game came after ITV revealed it was expanding The 1% Club universe and would soon launch a children’s version of the game show.

A special spin-off recorded last year featured 100 kids in the place of adults as they attempt to prove their worth and make it all the way to the final 1% Club question.

ITV revealed a first-look at the brand new edition of the hit programme which is set to hit screens later this year.

In the short clip, Lee Mack can be seen being left puzzled as the children contestants teach him all about the viral ‘6, 7’ trend.

After asking aloud about the kids’ seat numbers on the show set, Lee was stunned as the children began to move their hands in an up and down motion whilst saying: “6, 7.”

The ‘6, 7’ phrase has been heavily associated with Gen Alpha after going viral earlier this year.

It ultimately became Dictionary.com’s word of the year with its clear lack of meaning or context largely playing into its popularity.

Their official definition describes the nonsense phrase as “a burst of energy that spreads and connects people long before anyone agrees on what it actually means”.

The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
