Viewers tuning into The 1% Club have claimed the final question on the latest episode was far too ‘easy’.

Hosted by Lee Mack since its launch in 2022, the game show is styled as an IQ test, with the questions based on ‘logic and common sense’ rather than general knowledge.

It sees 100 contestants all compete by answering a total of 15 logic-inspired questions right in hopes of winning a £100,000 cash prize.

But the questions get increasingly harder – starting with ones 90 per cent of the population polled got right, all the way down to 1 per cent.

Although it’s been labelled incredibly difficult in the past, the third season return this weekend saw many fans declaring the last question was not challenging enough.

After being the last person standing, criminologist Tessa, 19, was given the chance to play for the £94,000 prize pool or walk away with £10,000 without having to answer another question.

Explaining how she was a bit nervous to proceed, she decided to take home the money instead of continuing to play.

However, the final question was still revealed: ‘Using only two letters to fill in the blank, what is the word below? P _ _ _ E _ _ I _ N’.

The answer was ‘Possession’.

While this was a question that apparently 99% of the public can’t answer, including Tessa who said she didn’t know what it was, plenty of people watching on at home claimed they knew it.

‘Don’t usually get the last question but I saw that one instantly. Easy peasy,’ Joanne Wilkinson posted on X.

‘Got it! Blimey I actually answered the 1% question!’ Rachel Anne shared.

‘That was easier than the few before it,’ Ben commented.

Amy Jay added: ‘Questions have been super easy tonight!’

Others echoed the same sentiments and labelled the episode ‘easier’ than usual.

Last year Lee, who is also known for writing and starring in the sitcom Not Going Out, took aim at what he believed were middle-class critics who don’t understand the ‘working-class art’ of the classic British sitcom.

‘Even today’s “favourite comedy of all time” polls have Fawlty Towers, Blackadder, Dad’s Army in the top ten and they’ve all got farce elements.

‘I’m under no illusions that shows like Mrs Brown’s Boys can divide the room, which is what comedy should do,’ he added when speaking to The Times.

He added: ‘But since Not Going Out started in 2006, broadsheet snobs have been asking, “How can this show be on television in this modern age?” That’s not the question. The question is, what is it about this show that is winding you up? Audiences love this sort of comedy.’
