Tricky 1% Club question forces 13 contestants to use their pass to stay in the game – but would you have got it right?

A TRICKY The 1% Club question stumped 13 players who used their pass to stay in the game - but would you have got it right? Lee Mack presents the smash-hit ITV quiz, which tests contestants' logic and common sense. 4 4 4 One question left 13 people perplexed, prompting them to use their pass to stay in the game. All 100 players start with £1,000, but should they pass on a question, it goes into the prize pot. Each person can only do this once - so it's important to pick the right moment. Lee asked for the 45% question: "Which is the odd one out? A) Dapple, B) Slime, C) Spear or D) Rabbit. Contestants only had 30 seconds to identify the correct answer and lock it in. Once time was up, the comedian revealed: "We've only lost three of you, but there was 13 passes on that one." The right answer was: D) Rabbit, as, "Rabbit is the only word when you take away the first letter it does not spell out the name of a fruit." "Dapple" becomes Apple, "Slime" becomes Lime and "Spear" becomes Pear. It's not the first time that contestants were caught out on a tough question. A previous episode saw host Lee left shocked as a record-number of players used their pass. The 1% Club's Lee Mack shocked as record number use pass on question - but can you get it right- A whopping 46 players were left baffled on a tricky word question and opted to utilise their pass on the show. As well as the 46 people who opted to pass to the next question, a further seven got it wrong meaning that more than half of the show's contestants failed to arrive at a correct answer. The question that caught them out, read: "Which of these words can have two of its letters swapped over and still result in a valid word?" The players were then given three multiple choice answers to choose from - Conversation, Dialogue and Chat. 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. Lee went on to reveal the answer as Conversation. The V and S could be swapped with one another in order to create the word - Conservation. Addressing the astonishing number of passes, Lee said to the players: "Now, you've just broken a record you lot, because, between you, you have just used 46 passes!" 4

The 1% Club eliminates 11 players on tricky bird question – could you have worked it out in 30 seconds?

THE 1% Club wiped out 11 contestants on a tricky bird question - but could you have got it right? The popular ITV quiz hosted by Lee Mack is the "ultimate leveller" - testing logic and common sense rather than general knowledge. 3 3 100 players begin the game, but are eliminated round-by-round with increasingly hard questions. In one episode, a puzzling bird question left several participants stumped. 11 players failed to answer the 60% question - which combined sport and birds. Lee asked the remaining contestants: "Which of these sporting events would you most associate with a magnificent bird?" The available options were, in lower-case: a) fa cup, b) super bowl or c) olympic games. The hopefuls had just 30 seconds to input their answer, in the hope they'd answered correctly. Once time was up, it turned out the correct answer was b) super bowl. By combining the two words, you get "Superb Owl" - associated with "magnificent bird". In a different episode, seven players were wiped out instantly on an "easy" 90% question. The 90% is the very first question to be asked - and is generally the most straightforward. The 1% Club knocks out 8 players with 'easy' picture question Reading the question aloud, Lee said: "Which of the following words still makes a valid word if you change the first letter to the next letter in the alphabet?" Continuing, Lee then told the players of the three choices they had to pick from, which were - Page, Rage and Wage. With 30 seconds on the clock, the 100 players did their best to attempt to answer the question. However, for seven of them, they could not get to the right answer. The 1% Club's Most Difficult Questions The 1% Club sees 100 contestants try and make it to the 1% question and be in with a chance to win a share of the jackpot. Here are just some of the show's most difficult teasers. Players had to compare and contrast three images of butterflies then explain which of the butterflies were exactly the same on both sides. Find the image and answer here. Players were shown groups of six symbols then asked which were in the same order whether you read them from left to right or right to left. Find the image and answer here. Players were asked how many different combinations were there of displaying four digits on one hand. Find the answer here. Peter had recently found his old diary that he'd written in secret code but he couldn't remember how to decipher what he wrote. Players were asked to crack the code and find out what the bold word was. WH89 I GR1W UP I WA92 21 B8 A 5L1RI72. Find the image and answer here. Players were tasked with working out how many eyes they could see in an image, which was made up of letters, symbols and emojis. Find the image and the answer here. A 1% question was based on a grid of numbers going in ascending order from 1 to 49. Starting on 25, the middle square, SEEN took you to square 27. From there, NEW took you to 20. From there, which square would SEWN take you to? Find the image and the answer here. And finally, an easy one - What common food in bold has had its letters rearranged into alphabetical order? ABDER If you really don't know you can find the answer here. Lee then confirmed that the answer was in fact, Rage. By switching the 'R' to an 'S' - the following letter in the alphabet - players were left with the word, Sage. Page would have produced "oage", whilst Wage would have read "xage". The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and ITVX. 3
