THE 1% Club viewers have been left stunned by an ‘easy’ question 90% of people couldn’t solve – but can you?

The quiz show has proven to be a huge hit in the UK and across the pond in the US.

 

 

 

The format sees 100 contestants receive a £1,000 stake each at the beginning of the game, and the questions are classified by the percentage of participants who answered correctly.

The participants are asked 15 questions of increasing difficulty from 90% to 1%, and if anyone left manages to answer the final question correctly, they win or share the jackpot.

The US version of The 1% Club gives the players the chance to win up to $100,000.

During one episode, host Patton Oswalt asked a 10% question revolving around a sequence which was shown on screen.

It read: “What month comes next in the sequence below?” and then a second line read: “April, August, December, February” and then a blank space.

Half of the players remaining were stumped by the question and were knocked out after getting it wrong.

It was then revealed that the correct answer was January, as the sequence was listing the months of the year in alphabetical order.

However, some viewers were baffled how so many could get it wrong, having guessed other months such as September and July.

One wrote on social media: “How… how are there people saying anything other than January. Like… how??? This is insanely easy.”

Another added: “How is the us one so easy.”

A third commented: “This would be 80% question in the UK.”

However, the claims that the US version is easier than its British counterpart may not be accurate if a recent episode is anything to go by.

The episode, once again hosted by comedian Lee Mack, saw a particular maths question gain attention online, after it caught out three quarters of contestants.

The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and is available on ITVX.
