Lee was on top form on the ITV favourite in which he is tasked with finding who is the brainiest of his 100 audience members.
Every week, fans see the players whittled down as they fail to advance past the increasingly difficult questions.
This time around was no different, as 15 people failed to correctly work out the 70% puzzle.
Reading the question to the audience, Lee asked: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
"Is a sentence that uses every letter in the alphabet but which letter appears the most?"
Lee then gave the contestants the choice of A, E, I or O.
And as the thirty seconds counted down he joked: "The foxes around my way are very cocky.
"They knock on the door to remind me to put the bins out - I'm joking, my wife puts the bins out."
Once 30 seconds was up, it was revealed 15 people had given the wrong answer and were eliminated.
The correct answer was O, as it was explained: "Many people think it's E as it's the most commonly used letter in the alphabet.
The 1% Club knocks out 25 players on 'easy' picture question - can you get it?
"But it is in fact O which appears four times in the sentence."
Since debuting three years ago, the game show is well-known for its tricky puzzles.
A previous episode saw a whopping 30 people wiped out on a smiley face brainteaser.
