The 1% Club player bags HUGE £100k prize on staggeringly difficult question – could you answer it?
The 1% Club left viewers scratching their head – but one contestant emerged victorious
THE 1% CLUB has a brand new member after a contestant walked away with £100,000 after this tricky question – but could you have got it?
On tonight’s episode, Lee Mack was back with more quiz questions aimed to stump the 100 players in the game.
By the final question, only three remained – Isabella, Maccisha and Oliver – and they had to face a question only a reported 1% of the UK would be able to answer.
The question was: “What is the lowest number that replaces the question mark in this sequence?”
The three contestants then were shown:
- 1+2 = one
- 2+2 = four
- 3+2 = three
- 3+3 = eleven
- 4+3 = ??
The 1% Club player wins <strong><strong>€</strong></strong>96k jackpot – but would you have known the answer?
With time running against them, the three remaining players had to tell Lee out loud what their answer is – with school teacher Maccisha guessing correctly that the answer was fifteen.
The reason for this, as explained by Lee, is that the first digit in the sum represents the number of consonants and the second digit represents the number of vowels.
Therefore, fifteen is the lowest number that has four consonants and three vowels.
Maccisha also made history on the show as the first contestant ever to walk away with the full £100,000 prize pot.
As Lee revealed she had taken home the win, Maccisha clapped her hand over her mouth in shock as the studio turned gold in celebration.
Fans were delighted at Maccisha’s efforts, congratulating her on cracking the incredibly difficult question.
“Huge congrats Maccisha on winning £100,000 hope you enjoy every penny of that amount,” wrote one on X.
“Yay! The primary school teacher got it! That’s good TV,” said a second.
The 1% Club is available to watch on ITVX.
