A NUMBER sequence question wiped out a total of 17 people on The 1% Club in a shock result.
A large number of people were left rattled by the 70% question which was all about identifying a missing number.
Lee Mack posed the question to the group in order to see who would be able to make it through to the next round.
They were all hoping they could make it all the way to the end and pick up a share of £100,000.
Appearing rather simple, the question read: “Here is a range of numbers from 1 to 61. What is the missing number?”
Every number up to 61, bar one, were then listed and all typed out in an assortment of different colours.
30 seconds were then placed on the clock with the contestants aiming to find which number had disappeared.
But it seemed that it wasn’t enough time for everyone as 17 of them failed to get it correct.
Lee then quipped: “That was quite a lot of you, we have lost 17 there.”
The correct answer was then revealed to be 29.
Eagle-eyed viewers and quizzers would have noticed that the numbers jumped straight from 28 up to 30.
It proved that 17 people were unable to correctly spot the missing number.
It comes after another question on the show wiped out 32 players.
Lee posed a question which was all about identifying which statement had to be false.
The star said: “Which of these would it be impossible to do?”
He then read aloud the three options.
These were – “marry your cousin’s cousin”, “marry your brother’s widow” or ” marry your widow’s sister”.
32 got it wrong but as the correct answer was revealed to be that it would be impossible to marry your own widow’s sister as you would already be dead.
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.
