THE 1% Club wiped out 10 players with an 'easy' question leaving host Lee Mack shocked.
It was a rare occurrence on the ITV programme as the 90% question - regarded as the most simple - knocked the 10 players out in the first round.

It seemed that 30 seconds on the clock was not enough for those to logically work out the correct answer.
Lee read out the 'easy' question to the players, saying: "Logically, which of these children's characters could be included in this sequence?"
He then read the sequence which consisted of "Humpty Dumpty, Tinky Winky, Andy Pandy."
The 100 audience members were then presented with two options - Postman Pat or Incy Wincy.
But whilst the pattern may seem obvious, for 10 of them, they were none the wiser.
With ten players wiped out, it was up to Lee to reveal the correct answer.
He told the contestants that Incy Wincy would be the only plausible answer as a result of it continuing the rhyming scheme pattern.
Contestant Sharon Swift got the question wrong and told Lee just exactly how the gamr crumbled so quickly for her.
She said to the host: "I put Incy Wincy as he is a spider and the rest are all sort of people."
Laughter rang out among her fellow players, with Lee then quipping: "Hang on, the rest of them are real people?
"Apart from the fact, none of them are real people - I don't think any of them are humans in fact!"
Hardest Quiz Show Questions
Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: 'From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?' The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000.
The 1% Club - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: "Edna's birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen's birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir's birthday must be the 'X' of January." It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir's birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence.
The Chase - The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: "Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?" The options were - sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots - with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes.
