Could you work out this tough question on The 1% Club?[/caption]
It wiped out a whopping 15 players[/caption]
In one episode, a tough sports question ended 15 people’s chances of winning up to £100,000.
This was the 45% question — approximately half way into the game.
Host Lee Mack asked: “Miranda and Oliver are playing a game of table tennis. They change serve after every 2 points.
“If Oliver served first, and the score is now 6-5, who will be serving the next point?”
The players had just 30 seconds to try and work out what the correct answer was.
Once time was up – and it was revealed 15 were out – Lee revealed the right answer was Miranda.
The full solution was: “They played 11 points, so the next point will be the 12th point.
“Oliver serves on points: 1, 2, 5, 6, 9 and 10 and Miranda serves on points 3, 4, 7, 8, 11 and 12.”
However, Lee simply joked: “Miranda – and there’s the explanation.”
In another episode, a whopping 25 contestants were wiped out on an “easy” picture question.
Not only that, it was an 80% question – which are posed very early in the show.
Lee asked the quiz hopefuls: “What two-word phrase does this code represent?”
Contestants were then shown side-by-side photos of a clock and some flies.
Once the 30 second time limit expired, it was shown 25 people had answered incorrectly.
