Next up on ITV, viewers have been expressing their confusion and concern after noticing a potential error on the popular game show, The 1% Club. Hosted by the hilarious Lee Mack since its premiere in 2022, the show is designed as an IQ test, with questions focused on logical thinking rather than general knowledge. A whopping 100 contestants compete to answer 15 logic-based questions correctly in hopes of winning the grand prize of £100,000.
As the questions become increasingly challenging, starting with ones that 90% of the population can easily answer and gradually decreasing to ones that only 1% can solve, some viewers noticed something amiss during the most recent episode. While playing along at home, they noticed a potential issue with one of the questions in the 30% difficulty level.
The question in question (pun intended) read: "Amrit and his grandad share the same birthday. Their birthday balloons arrive muddled up. Amrit's grandad is three times older than him. How old is Amrit?" The accompanying image showed four gold balloons shaped as the numbers six, eight, seven, and two. The correct answer to the question is that Amrit is 26 years old, making his grandad 78. However, some viewers pointed out that their partner was certain that the answer of 29 was also correct.
One viewer even took to the show's official Instagram page to share their thoughts, stating that there were no strings attached to the balloons and that the number six could be turned upside down to make a nine, making the answer 29. This sparked a debate among other viewers on social media, with many agreeing that 29 could also be a valid answer. Some even suggested that contestants should have the option to appeal if they were eliminated due to this question.
This is not the first time that eagle-eyed viewers have noticed issues with the show. Earlier this year, some players on the show's app discovered that it had crashed, marking correct answers as wrong and starting the game at the wrong point. One person even joked about the situation, saying that their husband's app was not working while theirs was, joking that it may lead to a divorce.
The Agency has reached out to ITV for comment on this matter. The 1% Club can be seen every Saturday at 8:55 pm on ITV1. Do you have a story to share?
