The 1% Club wiped out all five finalists with a very tough final question.<\/p>\n

It meant that the \u00a397,000 prize pot up for grabs went to waste with not one single player getting the correct answer.<\/p>\n

The 1% question had people stumped\"Screenshot<\/a><\/p>\n

Lee asked the brutal final question<\/p>\n

After a few shock early exits and surprisingly easier later questions, show host Lee Mack<\/a> remained hopeful that one of the five on the floor could arrive at the correct answer.<\/p>\n

Reading out the final question, Lee poised to the players: “What new word links the capitalised words below?”<\/p>\n

He then read aloud this sentence which featured certain words capitalised: “My SON TED ate raw FOOD and got SICK, then went to BED with me by his SIDE.”<\/p>\n

Thirty seconds were then put on the clock with the five remaining players hoping to get to the correct answer.<\/p>\n

With the time up, Lee went round the men one-by-one to which they all gave different answers.<\/p>\n

Whilst one admitted that he hadn’t even wrote anything down, another said they had picked “well” as their answers before someone else opted for “new”.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, all of them arrived at the incorrect answer.<\/p>\n

Lee then went on to reveal how the correct answer was in fact, sea.<\/p>\n

This is because “sea” could be placed at the start of each of the capitalised words in order to create another word.<\/p>\n

Adding “sea” to “son” creates season whilst adding it to “ted”, created seated.<\/p>\n

The 1% Club contestants left stumped by confusing picture question<\/p>\n

The same policy applied for the rest of the words.<\/p>\n

It left Lee in disbelief as the prize pot had to be abandoned with none of them walking away with any money.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the same show, a whopping 16 players were wiped out<\/a> on only the second question.<\/p>\n

The 80% question caught them out early and it featured three pictures, a ball of string, a metallic square and a cloud with a face making a blowing motion.<\/p>\n

The correct answer was then revealed\"Screenshot<\/a><\/p>\n

None of the players got it correct<\/p>\n

The question read: “In this cryptic puzzle, where would you find the following images?”<\/p>\n

The options were: “In an orchestra, In a cinema or On a\u00a0football\u00a0pitch”.<\/p>\n

Lee revealed the answer was ‘In an orchestra’ as the pictures represented string, brass and wind, which are all sections of an orchestra.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 1% Club wiped out all five finalists with a very tough final question.
