THE 1% Club viewers were left scratching their heads after a 'simple' Coronation Street question proved too tricky for most players. The ITV game show, hosted by comedian Lee Mack, challenged contestants to spot a difference in a classic cobbles scene from Coronation Street. 4 Instead of testing players on their general knowledge, 100 contestants try their luck at solving riddles within 30 seconds.

The answer was: "The image on the right shows Ravers instead of Rovers." Another episode also saw an 'easy' common sense riddle knock out a massive 23 people - also a 70% question.

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. Another added: "Too many people thinking too hard on that one #The1PercentClub."

Difficult question on The 1% Club knocks out a whopping 14 players - but can YOU solve it?

'Two syllables, only two different vowels, starts with an even -numbered letter and contains at least three letters from the second half of the alphabet. Which of these words would work?' Players had to choose between Doggie, Blades, Hotel, Prizes and Rabbit. After 30 seconds, it was revealed 14 contestants got the answer wrong and were wiped out from the game.

'Wow, most people end those anecdotes with, "What a lovely man",' Lee quipped He added: 'We used to play this game, all of us, to see who could go the longest without showering.

'I don't think he does that anymore, but back then, he could go a long time without showering,' he said.
