THE 1% Club viewers were left scratching their heads after a “simple” Coronation Street question proved too tricky for most players.
The ITV game show, hosted by comedian Lee Mack, challenged contestants to spot the difference in a classic cobbles scene from Coronation Street.
Instead of testing players on their general knowledge, 100 contestants try their luck at solving riddles within 30 seconds.
On The 1% Club, they are whittled down round by round as they are tasked with using their logic, reasoning skills, and common sense.
From the “easy” 90% puzzle to the hardest question – which only 1% of people answer correctly – £1,000 is added to the prize pot when each person is eliminated.
The players that remain at the end will fight to win a potentially huge jackpot prize and a chance at joining the prestigious one percent club.
In a recent episode, the 70% question saw contestants get wiped out on an easy picture question.
Lee asked: “What is the difference between these two images?”
The players were then shown two images of the Corrie pub – but with one major difference.
As the contestants locked in their answers, Lee joked: “That’s easy this… one’s on the left and one’s on the right.”
After the 30 seconds was up, Lee revealed that three people hadn’t spotted the difference.
Did you notice it within the time?
Lee then went on to reveal that the name on the pub had changed.
He said: “The image on the right shows Ravers instead of Rovers.”
Another episode also saw an “easy” common sense riddle knock out a massive 23 people – also a 70% question.
Lee said: “John writes with his right hand and the last word he’d right if he was writing this sentence would be be.
“If Keith writes with his left hand, what would be the last word he would write in the sentence above?”
The answer was the word “be”, as a different writing hand would not change the last word, something which many viewers playing along got correct.
However, a whopping 23 players in the studio answered the riddle incorrectly and they were eliminated from the game.
Viewers took to social media in droves as they couldn’t believe so many players left the game after such an “easy” question
One wrote: “How t* have 23 gone out?? Being left handed doesn’t mean you write words in the wrong order.”
Another added: “Too many people thinking too hard on that one #The1PercentClub.”
A third penned: “TWENTY THREE out on THAT?!?!”
The 1% Club is available to watch on ITV1 and stream on ITVX.
