The 1% Club fans baffled as they're left feeling like 'absolute geniuses'
The 1% Club, hosted by Lee Mack, has left viewers seriously divided after a question from the 10% round was shared on social media. The 1% Club enthusiasts have confessed they're "worrying for society" following a particularly contentious question. The popular ITV quiz show, hosted by the witty Lee Mack, often splits viewers with some left scratching their heads and others quickly identifying the correct answer - and this latest conundrum was no exception. The programme's unique format involves 100 participants tackling a series of questions that have been previously answered by the public, with each round increasing in difficulty, culminating in a final question known only to an elite 1%. As host Lee Mack presents the 15 questions, contestants are gradually eliminated. Each contestant starts with a £1,000 stake and must secure their answers within a tight 30-second window, either advancing to the next stage or using a pass after the 50% mark. Reaching the final round not only brings prestige but also the chance to bag up to £100,000 or a share of the prize money. Typically, the 10% question proves to be one of the toughest, with an average of just 10 contestants getting it right on the show, reports Bristol Live. However, one particular question has sparked debate among fans on social media, leading to a split opinion over whether it should be more straightforward to solve, while leaving others utterly perplexed. Circulating on Facebook, a fan posted the puzzling query: "Two has 3, three has 5, and four has 4. Logically, how many does five have?" Upon realising the answer was based on the number of letters in the word (with five having 4), one person commented: "If that's 10% then I worry for society." Echoing the sentiment, a fan responded: "That was my thought too," while another quickly boasted: "4 quickest I ever got one." Yet, someone offered a different take: "If 3 has 5, then 5 would have 3." To which another retorted: "You would deffo be out," and someone else chuckled: "Better use your pass mate." Confusion reigned for some, with a comment reading: "Is this an American question," and another admitting defeat: "I can't work it out." Many felt the question was far too simple for its supposed difficulty level, with remarks such as "too easy" for a 10% question and one stating: "I got it instantly when reading. That was easy as, how is that a 10% question?" Others suggested a higher difficulty rating, with one adding: "Definitely like a 50% question at most though." The low difficulty rating baffled many, prompting one to jest: "How is this only 10%? Like seriously are they asking chickens, toddlers and dogs?" And amidst the mixed reactions, one individual humorously declared: "I must be an absolute genius."

Exit story confirmed for Coronation Street character months after debut
The romance between Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) and Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) in Coronation Street hasn't been an easy one, considering that Theo has had a lot to overcome in order to come to terms with his sexuality and the fact that he's found love with a man. We've learned that Theo was brought up in an environment where being gay was perceived as sinful and, as a result, Theo has spent most of his life in denial about being gay. He married a woman called Danielle (Natalie Anderson) and went on to have two children who are now teenagers, all the while trying to suppress his true sexuality. Meeting Todd meant he finally began to understand what he wanted from life and what he needed to do to achieve that, which meant a painful break-up of his marriage and navigating his children's feelings about it. Theo had a major setback when a character called Noah (Richard Winsor) appeared in the Street. At a younger age, Theo was put through so-called conversion therapy to try to stop him being gay, and Noah was part of that. Seeing him again terrified Theo and gave him panic attacks. After Noah recently invited Theo to a meeting to 'save his soul,' Todd went along and ended up getting into a fight with Noah and physically lashing out at him. Following this, Todd is instructed to attend a restorative justice session with Noah. He grits his teeth and goes along. It's a horrible experience as Noah is cruel and manipulative and exploits the chance to goad Todd as much as possible. As soon as the session is over, Todd leaves, in a hurry to get away. Because of this he forgets his coat and when he goes back to get it he overhears Noah talking on the phone to Theo's wife Danielle – who is obviously now Noah's girlfriend. Todd drops this bombshell when Danielle later brings Miles and Millie to the bistro to see Theo. All hell breaks loose, with Miles incensed by Todd's meddling and trying to punch him. Theo gets in the way of this and accidentally ends up hitting Miles himself, and he's mortified to see his son sprawling on the ground, hurt. More Trending When Billy (Daniel Brocklebank) calls round the following day he's surprised to see that Todd has slept on the sofa. Todd explains that now that Noah and Danielle are a couple, Theo isn't allowed to see his kids – and Theo hasn't taken it well. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

Billy suggests that Todd should try speaking to Danielle about it and he meets up with her, aiming to convince her that Theo is a good dad who deserves to see his children. This backfires, though, when Theo becomes furious to discover that Todd has been taking Billy's advice about how to solve Theo's problems.
