Alongside the question, two images were displayed of Coronation Street pub, The Rovers Return Inn. Host Lee quipped: 'That's easy this, one's on the left and one's on the right.'

20 players ELIMINATED in brutal 1% Club picture question – would you have guessed correctly?
A WHOPPING 20 players were eliminated on a brutally challenging question on The 1% Club. Lee Mack was left stunned when he revealed that 20 contestants had failed to correctly identify the correct images in a tricky picture question. 4 4 The result of the 30% question changed the face of the game, shedding half of the remaining current players. Lee read aloud to the group: "How many RIGHT FOOTPRINTS can you see in the sand." An image was then displayed showcasing an assortment of footprints in the sand. Players were then given 30 seconds to differentiate between the right and left feet. But it seemed that many of the contestants were unable to do so as they arrived at different answers. Lee then confirmed that the correct answer was in fact, eight. The image then turned the eight right feet green in order to correctly display which of the options the players should have been looking at. Would you have been able to identify all eight right footprints? As the answer was revealed, Lee said on the show: "Wow! We lost a lot of people there!" That isn't the only option to leave players stumped in recent weeks. The 1% Club viewers stumped over a trick word question knocking out 11 people - but did you get it right- Last week, the show's final option wiped out all five players, costing them a whopping £97,000. Reading out the final question, Lee poised to the players: "What new word links the capitalised words below?" He then read aloud this sentence which featured certain words capitalised: "My SON TED ate raw FOOD and got SICK, then went to BED with me by his SIDE." With the time up, Lee went round the men one-by-one to which they all gave different answers. 4 Whilst one admitted that he hadn't even wrote anything down, another said they had picked "well" as their answers before someone else opted for "new". Unfortunately, all of them arrived at the incorrect answer. Lee then went on to reveal how the correct answer was in fact, sea. 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. 4
