A BRUTAL question on ITV’s The 1% Club left 23 contestants stunned – and out of the game in one savage swoop.
The brain-busting puzzle was designed to test the kind of logic only 1% of the nation could crack – but would you have nailed it or joined the unlucky bunch booted off stage?
Saturday night's episode of saw 100 contestants try and make it to the 1% question and be in with a chance to win a share of the jackpot.
But the 45% question saw several contestants crash out of the running thanks to a head-scratcher.
Host asked the question: “Including the work ‘and', what is the only number out of the numbers below that uses every vowel exactly once when spelt out?”
The answers to choose from were 107, 206 or 305.
Lee joked: “Take as long as you need… as long as the time you need is 30 seconds.”
He then revealed the correct answer was 206.
A whopping 23 people were eliminated, meaning they couldn't continue towards the final question and a share of the jackpot.
Later, the 15% question saw multiple contestants get knocked out.
A very cryptic letter question left viewers and even host Lee Mack baffled.
Lee asked the question: “Which of these groups of six symbols are in the same order whether you read them from left to right or right to left?”
He joked: “This is basically what we had to use before emojis.”
Lee then revealed the correct answer was C.
Eight players were eliminated, just three questions away from the 1% question and chance to win the jackpot.
The 1% Club is available to watch on Saturdays on ITV1 and ITVX.
