80% question. 30 seconds. Then 16 contestants were suddenly OUT. All 100 players had barely begun The 1% Club when Lee Mack revealed three innocent-looking pictures—a ball of string, a metallic square and a blowing cloud. It was supposedly an 80% puzzle, but the hidden connection caused chaos. When the clock hit zero, 16 players had been eliminated. Then Lee revealed the ridiculously simple link hiding in those three images… and suddenly everything made sense.

THE 1% Club saw a chunk of contestants stumped by a confusing picture question – but could you get it in 30 seconds?

Saturday night’s episode saw 100 new contestants try to make it to the final question in a bid to win a share of the jackpot.

The 80% question caught out 16 people

But unfortunately for a good chunk of the players, the 80% question caught them out early.

It featured three pictures, a ball of string, a metallic square and a cloud with a face making a blowing motion.

The question read: “In this cryptic puzzle, where would you find the following images?”

The options were: “In an orchestra, In a cinema or On a football pitch”.

The 1% Club’s royals-themed puzzle wipes out 17 people – would you have got it?

The players had 30 seconds to figure it out before host Lee Mack revealed 16 people had got it wrong and were out of the game.

He then revealed the answer was ‘In an orchestra’ as the pictures represented string, brass and wind, which are all sections of an orchestra.

Did you get it right?

Meanwhile, a previous episode of the ITV show saw 27 contestants completely stumped by a yoga question.

Lee asked the 70% question: “Which yoga position comes next in this sequence?

The contestants were then given a multiple choice option – A, B or C.

After 30 seconds were up, Lee explained that the answer was C.

He added: “Because if you follow the sequence the figure has one limb on the floor, then two limbs then three, so to follow on the next move has to have four limbs on the floor.”
