GETTING the ultimate question right on The 1% Club has become the new way of boasting you’re the cleverest person in your friend group.
Lee Mack’s ITV quiz has quickly become one of the nation’s favourite game shows since it launched last year.
It sees 100 contestants compete for a £100,000 prize pot by answering 15 logic-inspired questions that get progressively harder.
It kicks off with a question which 90 per cent of the population polled got right.
It then goes on to ask questions which smaller and smaller percentages of the country got right, culminating with a 1% question.
Here we bring you a selection of those tough final questions from the show.
Don’t worry – if you get them wrong, you’re in good company, as even presenter Lee hasn’t managed to get a 1% question right.
He said: “I’m not going to lie – I went through the whole first series without getting a 1%. The best I did was a 5% question.”
