The 1% Club viewers say the same thing after 10% question

The 1% Club viewers have confessed they're "worrying for society" following a divisive question. The popular ITV quiz show regularly leaves some audiences completely stumped whilst others identify the solution instantly - and this particular puzzle proved no exception.

Presented by comedian and actor Lee Mack, the programme's format features 100 participants tackling rounds of questions previously answered by the general public, with each stage becoming progressively more challenging until reaching the final query, which supposedly only 1% of people can solve.

Throughout Lee's delivery of the 15 questions, contestants - each starting with a £1,000 stake - are gradually eliminated.

Participants - alongside home viewers using the app - must confirm their responses within 30 seconds, progressing to subsequent rounds upon correct answers or choosing to pass following the 50% stage.

Those reaching the ultimate round don't merely claim bragging rights, but get the chance to secure up to £100,000, or share portions of the prize fund, reports Bristol Live.

This means the 10% question typically ranks among the most challenging, with roughly 10 contestants usually answering correctly on the show.

However, one particular question has sparked debate amongst fans after circulating on social media, with some arguing it should be considerably simpler for people to answer correctly, whilst others remain utterly perplexed.

Posted on Facebook by a viewer, it stated: "Two has 3, three has 5, and four has 4. Logically, how many does five have?"

Upon realising the answer was based on the number of letters in the word (so five would have 4), one individual expressed concern: "If that's 10% then I worry for society."

Echoing the sentiment, a fan responded: "That was my thought too," while another quickly boasted: "4 quickest I ever got one."

Yet, someone offered a different take: "If 3 has 5, then 5 would have 3."

To which another quipped: "You would deffo be out," and someone else chuckled: "Better use your pass mate."

Confusion arose with one fan pondering: "Is this an American question," as another admitted defeat: "I can't work it out."

Several claimed the question was far too simple for its supposed difficulty level, with one remarking: "I got it instantly when reading. That was easy as, how is that a 10% question?"

Another suggested a recalibration: "Definitely like a 50% question at most though."

One commenter humorously questioned the target audience: "How is this only 10%? Like seriously are they asking chickens, toddlers and dogs?"

While another self-proclaimed their intellect: "I must be an absolute genius."
