THE 1% Club left a staggering number of players stumped on the show as they failed to answer a very tricky question.
The ITV quiz show, fronted by Lee Mack, is known for regularly catching out TV hopefuls with their tough questions.
For the players on the latest episode of the programme it was no different, with a colossal 16 players being wiped out on the programme’s 30% question.
Lee Mack asked the difficult question all about faces of a dice to the players in the hopes they could progress to the next round.
The question read: “Using only the faces of the dice you can see and each of them just once, how many different ways can you add them together to make a total of ten?”
An image then flashed up on the screen with faces of a dice ranging from one to five.
The 1% Club players struggle with tricky butterfly pic question – can you get it?
Only the number six was missing.
Players were then given 30 seconds to see if they could figure out all the possible combinations.
Before Lee revealed the answers, it was confirmed that 16 players had been wiped out after getting the question incorrect.
Going on to share details of the answer, Lee told the 100 and the viewers at home that the right answer was the number three.
Lee explained that in order to get the number 10, there were only three answers from the options available.
Using the 5, 4 and 1 allowed for an answer of 10 as did using the 5, 3 and 2.
The final option saw the number 5 ditched with 4, 3, 2 and 1 all being added together to make 10.
In the episode, only one player managed to scoop the jackpot after working their way to the 1% question.
Cameron banked £96,000 after correctly getting the answer about a four digit pin number.
His two fellow finalists both crumbled under the pressure and offered up incorrect answers.
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.
