A QUESTION on The 1% Club wiped out players from the get-go – despite being deemed as easy.
The popular quiz show, fronted by Lee Mack, is known for leaving players with their minds boggling thanks to its tough questions as the game goes on.
However for most of the 100 players, they manage to sail through the first few round which are deemed easy thanks to most of the general public being able to correctly answer them.
But for one episode of the Saturday night quiz favourite, seven people fell at the very first hurdle.
They all failed to correctly identify the answer to the opening 90% question – which was all about letters.
Reading the question aloud, Lee said: “Which of the following words still makes a valid word if you change the first letter to the next letter in the alphabet?”
Lee then told the players of the three choices they had to pick from, which were – Page, Rage and Wage.
With 30 seconds on the clock, the 100 players did their best to attempt to answer the question.
However, for seven of them, they could not get to the right answer.
Lee then confirmed that the answer was in fact, Rage.
By switching the ‘R’ to an ‘S’ – the following letter in the alphabet – players were left with the word, Sage.
Page would have produced “oage”, whilst Wage would have read “xage”.
One player who got it wrong admitted it was his “biggest fear” to go out on the 90% question.
He told Lee that he panicked and failed to read the question properly before selecting the answer as “wage”.
