The 1% Club knocks out 17 players on difficult numbers question – but could you have got it right?
THIS is the difficult numbers question on The 1% Club that knocked out 17 players. Lee Mack fronts the smash-hit ITV game show with a difference in a primetime slot on the weekend. 6 6 Instead of testing players on their general knowledge, 100 contestants try their luck at solving riddles within 30 seconds. On The 1% Club, they are whittled down round by round as they are tasked with using their logic, reasoning skills, and common sense. With every player that gets eliminated, £1,000 gets added to the prize pot as the players try to answer questions that certain percentages of the public would get right. The players that remain at the end will fight to win a potentially huge jackpot prize and a chance at joining the prestigious one percent club. Lee, 56, then moved on to the 70% question, which was a tricky numbers question. He asked: "Here is a range of numbers from 1 to 61. What is the missing number?" Below the question was a box full of bright numbers, which appeared to have a slightly jumbled look due to all the different rainbow colours. As the players tried their best to spot the correct number, Lee joked: "If you find this stressful, think about the pressure I'm under. "In a minute I've got to pretend my surprise that some of you got it wrong." The number that was missing was '29,' something that a whopping 17 players failed to guess. The 1% Club wipes out 14 players with tricky age riddle - would you have got it right? In the end he was genuinely surprised as the audience, who also let out audible gasps. He remarked: "Woah. Quite a lot that time, we lost 17 of you." The presenter again could not quite believe the players that were eliminated from the show as he repeated: "It's 29. We lost 17 players there." As such, the jackpot prize rose from £12,000 to £29,000 in one fell swoop.

Combination Lock Phil buys a four-figure combination lock where each dial can be set from 0 to 9, and needs to decide what number to set to unlock it. He opts for a number with all different digits and a leading zero so he only has to remember a three-figure number. When the chosen number is set for the lock to open, nine other four-figure numbers are visible. For instance, if he chooses 0123, then 1234, 2345, 3456, 4567, 5678, 6789, 7890, 8901 and 9012 are all visible. As a retired Maths teacher with a natural interest in numbers he examines the other nine numbers that are displayed when the lock is set to open. None of these numbers are prime but two of them
