“‘OH, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA… HALF OF THEM JUST WENT OUT ON THAT?!’” 😱 A seemingly simple question on the US version of The 1% Club has left viewers stunned after wiping out 50% of the remaining contestants in a single round. With a $100,000 (£79,000) jackpot still up for grabs, players were given just 30 seconds to spot the pattern in a sequence of months and work out what came next.

A question on the US version of The 1% Club doing the rounds online has left Brits baffled.

Seeing as The 1% Club is a beloved staple of British TV, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the game has managed to make its way across the Atlantic Ocean and given a makeover for US audiences.

With comedian Patton Oswalt serving as the American equivalent of Lee Mack, the series follows the same format: a group of contestants are asked 15 questions in varying difficulty, the prize on offer for those who make it to the end? Up to $100,000 (£79k) prize money.

However there are some variations between the US and UK versions, with a clip showing one of the game’s more difficult questions shocking Brit viewers.

For the 10% question, Oswalt asks the remaining contestants to work out which month comes next in s sequence shown on screen.

The months are ‘April, August, December, February’ followed by a blank space.

Any guesses on what the answer would be?

If you’re unable to get it then don’t worry, as Oswalt would subsequently reveal the question knocked out half of the remaining contestants in the game.

If the comments under the post are anything to go by as well it would seem most people viewing the clip were also stumped.

The majority of guesses were split almost evenly between January, July and September, while others argued on which way to answer the question.

So what is the correct answer?

After making us wait what felt like forever Oswalt reveals the correct answer is in-fact January, as the months are in alphabetical order.

However not all viewers were convinced about the difficulty of the question, with one apparent quizmaster declaring: “How… how are there people saying anything other than January. Like… how??? This is insanely easy.”

“How… how are there people saying anything other than January. Like… how??? This is insanely easy.”

“How is the us one so easy,” a second viewer commented, while a third added: “This would be 80% question in the UK.”

However it would appear that Brits also aren’t immune to having a bad day while doing a quiz, with a simple spot the difference knocking out 28 contestants during this year’s festive special.

“Wow,” was all Lee Mack could manage, before explaining to contestants and viewers at home that Santa Claus was missing his legs in one of the images.

Which is something you’d think would be an obvious difference, but apparently out as it eliminated nearly a third of the participants.
