The 1% Club viewers were left baffled by a hidden sequence question worth a whopping £93,000 this week.
Hosted by Lee Mack, 56, the ITV programme sees 100 hopefuls answer questions that were put to the public, with the percentage who got it right determining its difficulty in each round.
Aptly, the final question is one that just 1% of the public answered correctly.
Saturday night’s 1% question proved to be so difficult that some TV watchers were left completely stumped.
Four contestants made it to the final question in the recent instalment and chose to play for a chance at bagging a share of the jackpot but only two, Maisy and Jasmine, answered it correctly – taking home £46,500 each.
The question read: ‘Peter has recently found his old diary that he’d written in secret code but he can’t remember how to decipher what he wrote.

‘Can you crack the code to find out what the underlined word is? WH89 I GR1W UP I WA92 21 B8 A 5L1RI72.’
Lee revealed the answer, ‘When I grow up I want to be a florist’ and explained how Peter had replaced a letter with a number that started with that letter where possible.
Some took to social media to share their verdict on the tricky question, with one posting: ‘Nowhere near the 1% question this week, well done to the two who spotted it ..’;
‘I didn’t get the 1% question but my 11 year old did.’;
‘Was close to working it out, but not in the time!! Congratulations to the 2 ladies.’;
While others found the question easy with one penning: ‘The 1% Club’ fans are buzzing—last night’s 1% question was a breeze! X users say even kids could nail it. Are the quizzes softening up, or are we just geniuses now?’
In the same episode, Viewers were left fuming after a ‘nonsensical and stupidly worded’ question wiped out a wave of players early on.

The 90% question read: ‘Which of these is the largest? A) Circle, B) Triangle, C) Rectangle, or D) Square.’ The correct answer was C, Rectangle because it was the longest word.
However, despite it being the first and supposedly the easiest question of the game, 12 contestants answered incorrectly.
Afterwards, some fans took to social media to share their thoughts on the question, expressing how ‘outraged’ they were on X.
The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
