A tricky brain teaser on The 1% Club wiped out 14 players – but can you solve it within 30 seconds?

Hosted by Lee Mack, the ITV show welcomes 100 contestants who all attempt to win a huge cash prize. 

The programme’s questions were put to the public, with the percentage who got it right determining the difficulty of each round. 

Aptly, the final quiz is one that just 1 per cent of the public answered correctly.

During a previous episode, the 60% question proved to be tricky for many contestants.

During a previous episode, the 60% question proved to be tricky for many contestants. It read ‘Richard is older than Clare. Jojo is older than Hennie. Hennie is older than Richard. Who is the oldest?’

Lee asked: ‘Richard is older than Clare. Jojo is older than Hennie. Hennie is older than Richard. Who is the oldest?’

The options included, Richard, Clare, Jojo or Hennie.

When the 30 second counter ticked down, it was revealed that a whopping 14 players were wiped out of the compeтιтion and had answered incorrectly. 

The right answer was revealed to be Jojo.

However, it isn’t the only tricky question to appear on the show. In another episode, all of the finalists were wiped out due to a ridiculously difficult question. 

There were five players remaining at the time, all hopeful that they could be in with a share of the money. 

Lee hit them with the following question: ‘What new word links the capitalised words below?’

He then read this sentence: ‘My SON TED ate raw FOOD and got SICK, then went to BED with me by his SIDE.’

However, it isn’t the only tricky question to appear on the show. In another episode, all of the finalists were wiped out due to a ridiculously difficult question

As is the case with every question on the show, the players had just 30 seconds to try and work it out. 

Lee then asked the players their answers and it was soon clear that no consensus had been reached, with all five of them reaching different conclusions. 

One player was actually left so stumped by the question that they couldn’t even attempt to answer it.

Other possible answers suggested included ‘new’ and ‘well’. 

Lee then explained that the right answer was ‘sea’. 

The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
