Lee Mack hosts the ITV game show testing players' logic and common sense, rather than general knowledge.
Round by round, the puzzles get increasingly difficult as more people are eliminated.
This particular question asked: "There's something wrong with one of these pictures of London traffic. Which one?"
Players were shown three side-by-side photos with red double decker buses, pedestrians and taxis.
After the 30 seconds were up, Lee revealed 11 people had answered incorrectly and were out of the game.
The correct answer was A), as it showed vehicles driving on the wrong side of the road.
Lee then added: "Interestingly on that one, there were 19 passes used."
This meant a total of 30 people altogether had been left flummoxed.
It's not the first time that the ITV show has stumped its contestants.
Viewers previously saw 23 people eliminated on an "easy" question.
The 1% Club players stumped by 'easy' question that knocks out 23 people - would you have got it-
For a 70% round, Lee had asked: "John writes with his right hand and the last word he'd right if he was writing this sentence would be be.
"If Keith writes with his left hand, what would be the last word he would write in the sentence above?"
The answer was the word "be", as a different writing hand would not change the last word, something which many viewers playing along got correct.
Elsewhere, 13 players were left bamboozled on a tricky picture question.
This was the 80% question - meaning 80% of the public would be expected to answer correctly.
Contestants were shown three seemingly identical photos of people dressed as a gorilla, clown and horse respectively.
A) was right side up, B) was upside down and C) was tilted to the right.
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.
Lee asked the players: "Which of these is not the same photo as the other two?"
As usual, contestants had just 30 seconds to suss out the challenging puzzle.
The correct answer turned out to be B), as "In A and C, the gorilla is on the left and the horse on the right but they have swapped in B."
The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
