The 1% Club viewers call out tough question that they 'wouldn't have gotten in a million years' - but can you?

THE 1% Club viewers have called out a tough question that they ‘wouldn't have gotten in a million years' – but can you guess it?

The ITV show, hosted by Lee Mack, features 100 contestants trying to answer increasingly difficult logic-based questions in order to win some prize money.

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 baffled by Saturday's difficult question with some saying they would have never known the answer.

Out of all the contestants that started the competition – only four made it to the end.

Each of them in for a chance to win the massive jackpot of £98,000.

Comedian and host Lee presented the 1 percent question which asked: “What is the lowest number to have the same value as ten times the number of letters in its name?”

But all four remaining contestants gave totally different answers, showing how difficult the question was.

But which of them was correct?

Lee revealed the answer was 50 and explained it was because fifty has five letters.

Joshua, who looked completely shell shocked answered correctly and walked away with the huge sum.

Lee asked him: “How are you feeling?”

The 1% Club viewers baffled by very difficult hidden code question – can you answer it-

To which he replied: “I'm a wreck!”

Lee congratulated him on his brilliant win but many viewers were left stumped by the question and flocked to social media.

One fan said: “Wouldn’t have gotten that 1% question in a million years.”

Another admitted: “Ffs don’t understand the question even.”

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.

“I never know these 1%questions” added a third fan.

“I wasn't close, but now I've seen the answer I realise it would have been really quick and easy if you'd known what to do.

“That's sort of the whole point of #The1PercentClub isn't it!” pipped another.

One viewer said: “Amazing, Joshua Congratulations.”

While another explained: “What the hell even was that 1% question ?That was a tough question...well done Joshua.”
