Three possible options with seemingly jumbled-up letters were then presented to the participants. They were then given 30 seconds to see if they could work out which one of the three answers would be right. A total of 11 players failed to identify the correct combination with Lee going on to confirm it was in fact answer B.

Easy first question on The 1% Club wipes out 12 people – but did you get it right?
ITV viewers have been left stunned after twelve contestants were eliminated by the "easy" first question on Saturday night's 1% Club. The quiz show, hosted by Lee Mack, is known for testing reasoning and logic skills rather than general knowledge. 100 players are whittled down, question by question, as they are tasked with solving different riddles. They aim to get to the last round where only one percent of the public could answer the final question correctly. But this early round question - worth 30 percent - proved unexpectedly challenging for a dozen hopefuls. Contestants were shown a standard calculator and asked: "What's the largest four-digit number you can type using just the number keys on the bottom two rows of this calculator without using the same number key twice?" The correct answer was 3210, which are the only four digits that appear along the bottom two rows of the calculator. Despite its simplicity, the pressure of the studio environment led to a significant early exit. After revealing the answer, Lee confirmed the 12 participants had been knocked out. 'It seems very obvious when you hear the explanation,' he said. Viewers were quick to comment on social media. "How did 12 go out???? It's 3210," one person posted on X. The 1% Club wipes out 10 players on tricky cat picture question - but could you work it out in 30 seconds Another wrote: "#The1PercentClub The calculator question seems suspiciously easy." A third added: "12 people? I'm amazed they managed to apply! #The1PercentClub." The 1% Club previously wiped out 10 players on a tricky cat picture question. In the installment, Lee showed the players an image of a cat and asked: "Which is the correct picture of the cat once it has been rotated 180 degrees?" After the players were given 30 seconds to come up with the answer, Lee revealed that a whopping 10 players had been knocked out. He then explained: " That if you rotate the image 180 degrees it would look like choice A." The 1% Club airs on Saturday evenings on ITV and ITVX.
