A question on The 1% Club wiped out eight players - but can you solve it within 30 seconds?
The quiz show involves 100 contestants who all attempt to win a cash prize by answering a series of questions that gradually increased in trickiness.
Hosted by Lee Mack, The 1% Club works by putting questions to the public, with the percentage who got them right determining the difficulty of each round.
Aptly, the final question is one that just 1% of the public answered correctly.
However in one previous instalment, the 80% question tripped several people up.
Lee read: 'You walk 10 miles northeast, then turn south and walk a further 20 miles.

'You then walk in a straight line back to your starting point. What shape do you make?'
After the countdown ended, the TV host revealed that eight players had answered incorrectly and were knocked out of the game.
The correct answer was triangle.
It comes after an episode, which aired back in 2022, saw two players lose their place in the competition.
Lee said: 'We are at the 45% stage. Let's see the question...
'If you turn this image 90 degrees clockwise, how many arrows are pointing to the right? Your 30 seconds starts now.'
The contestants were then shown a selection of blue arrows that were all going in different directions.
Trying to amuse the players while wracking their brains, Lee said: 'This is like when my nan used to try and do a three-point turn.'
The live audience saw the funny side of the gag and burst into laughter.
After the 30 seconds was completed, Lee said: 'Okay, your time is up. Let's see who got the question right!'
Only two got the answer incorrect, meaning that 18 players were still in the game at that point.
The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
