FANS of The 1% Club were left baffled as contestants failed to win a whopping £96,000 after getting the ‘easiest ever’ question wrong.
Viewers tuned in for the latest instalment of Lee Mack‘s ITV hit, which aired on Saturday.
It sees 100 contestants compete for a £100,000 prize pot by answering 15 logic-inspired questions that get progressively harder.
It kicks off with a question which 90 per cent of the population polled got right.
It then goes on to ask questions which smaller and smaller percentages of the country got right, culminating with a 1% question.
And this week there was five contestants left, vying to answer the final 1% Club question correctly.
They were given a choice of taking £10k home, which would see them all walk away with £2,000 or take on the question.
One player called Christoper decided to take his share and bow out, while the rest played on.
They were asked: “The words below share a specific pattern. Why could VOTING also be part of the group?'”
The words listed were Bandleader, Nickelodeo and Silverback.
While only one contestant attempted to answer the question, they got it wrong, meaning nobody took home cash.

Following the loss, ITV viewers at home branded the question the ‘easiest ever’ and flooded social media with comments.
One said: “That was the easiest 1% question I can remember. Thought it must be wrong as it couldn’t be that easy. Amazed not one of them had a clue.”
A second wrote: “Got this within five seconds was far too easy with silver and nickel as the start of the words and tin being the only other word in voting.”
“My 12-year-old got this. Metals in the words,” said a third.
While a fourth posted: “That seemed a pretty easy 1% Question to me?!”
