Only 1% answered final question correctly on ITV

The ITV show The 1% Club aired a new episode today, featuring a standout contestant who won £98,000. Joshua, a university student from Cardiff, was the only person out of 100 to answer the final question correctly. He plans to use the winnings to invest in a swimming pool treadmill. The show, hosted by Lee Mack, gives contestants a chance to win up to £100,000 through logic-based questions. While many contestants can answer the first question easily, only a small percentage can solve the final question. According to surveys, only 1% of the population typically answers this question correctly. Tonight's final question was math-related: “What is the lowest number to have the same value as ten times the number of letters in its name?” Most contestants guessed answers like seven or eight, but Joshua correctly answered 50. This is because "fifty" has five letters, and multiplying that by ten equals 50. Viewers watching at home expressed their frustration online. Many commented on how challenging the question was. Laura called it "cruel" to have a math question for the final challenge. Others, like Tracey and Daniel, shared their struggles and near misses with the question. Overall, the episode highlighted the show's unique approach to testing contestants and sparked conversation among fans about the tricky final question.
