PLAYERS on The 1% Club were left tackling a tricky question that combined both words and numbers in an unusual move.
delivered another tough question on the ITV programme that really got the contestants brains working.
Using a combination of words and numbers, it was all about spotting the right number spelt out within a longer word for the 50% question.
Leaving the contestants scratching their heads, Lee read aloud the question before the 30 seconds was popped on the clock.
The question read: “Which of the following words includes a number in it which is NOT the same as the number of letters in the word?”;
Contestants were then offered three multiple choice answers.
They were “weighted, horniness and extension”;.
As the clock counted down, the 100 players could be seen deep in thought as they attempted to work out exactly what was the correct answer.
When it was revealed that two players had crashed out on the game with many others opting to use their pass to the next round, Lee revealed the correct answer – but would you have got it?
The final option – extension – was the correct answer.
This was because the number ten was featured within the word but extension is made up of nine letters instead of ten.
On the flip side, weighted features the word eight and includes eight letters whilst horniness contains the word nine as well as nine letters.
Lee then joked: “I can’t believe they got me to say horniness on TV.”;
It comes afteron a question in another episode of the quizzing programme.
46 people passed on a difficult question with 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.
With 30 seconds on the clock, many of the players were left scratching their heads to arrive at the correct answer – but would you have got it?
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!”;
