The final question in the game is regarded to be so tough that on average only 1% of the UK population would get it right.
However, viewers were left divided by Saturday’s difficult question which left many contestants and viewers baffled, leading to an early exit for a number of players.
Comedian and host Lee presented the 40 percent question which asked: “How many different combinations are there of displaying four digits on one hand?”
The correct answer was five and graphics appeared on screen showing the different combinations.
Eight contestants got it wrong and it didn’t take long before fans rushed to voice their opinions online.
One said: “I’d argue only four ways to show four digits with one hand because it’s difficult to lower your pinky without your next figure lowering too #The1PercentClub.”
Another added: “While I know the answer to the question is technically correct – ‘How many different combinations are there to display four digits on one hand?’
“With the answer being ‘five’ You try showing your ring finger with your pinky finger down – can’t be done!”
A third wrote: “Think question should have read ‘only’ displaying four digits.”
But another said: “The hand combination question was very easy at this stage of the game.”
Elsewhere in the episode, a contestant revealed that she had missed an important day to appear on the show – her brother’s wedding!
She laughed: “I’m missing my brother’s wedding to be sitting here.”
Lee Mack asked: “No you’re not! It’s today? It’s actually happening now?
“Oh my gosh that is terrible – I mean that’s brilliant, well done for your commitment!
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.
“We’re not all judging you at all. Oh well listen, good luck, because now the pressure’s on. You’ve got to do well!”
However, she was eliminated in the 60 percent round.
She said: “I ran out of time! If I had one more second I would’ve got! Just one.”
Lee quipped back: “If you’d have had two more hours you could’ve made your brother’s wedding!”
The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
