The 1% Club is a unique format that doesn’t test players on their general knowledge like other shows.

Instead, it tests them on their logic, reasoning skills and common sense.

100 players are whittled down, question by question, as they are tasked with solving different riddles and puzzles.

The aim is to get to the last round where only one percent of the public could answer the final question correctly.

However, a massive 37 players were baffled by a logical language puzzle nearly half way through an episode.

A whopping 20 were taken out of the game and 17 players used their passes in a question that 45 percent of the public would get right.

Host Lee Mack asked the question: “Which of these are NOT the correct translation of the following: One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight.

He then showed them a multiple choice option of A, B and C which was written in a different language from English.

“Foreign language questions – you don’t get this on Saturday Night Take Away” he joked during the players 30 seconds to answer..

However, there was an audible shock from contestants when he revealed: “20 players are knocked out and 17 used their passes.”

He then revealed the answer to be C and explained: “You don’t need to be able to speak any of the languages.

“But you do need to spot that there are only seven numbers not eight.”

Lee then turned to the audience and asked Scott who had been eliminated – if he wanted to chuck his lucky mascot away.

Scott laughed and threw it onto the stage and told Lee that he could use it for the rest of the show if he wanted.
