The 1% Club baffles players with difficult arrows question – but could you get it in 30 seconds?
CONTESTANTS on The 1% Club have been left bemused by an arrow-inspired visual brain teaser. The ITV quiz saw players perplexed by the confusing arrow-heavy question - but could you get it right? 6 6 Yet again, the challenging 45% question proved too difficult for some contestants. Host Lee Mack asked the players: "If you turn this image 90 degrees clockwise, how many arrows are pointing to the right?" "This is like when my nan used to do a three-point turn," Lee joked. With just 30 seconds to work out the correct answer, two people were lost after getting it wrong. After the brain-basher, 18 people were still left in the game with the jackpot at £87,000. But can you work out how many arrows there should be? Lee confirmed the answer: "As it's a 90 degree clockwise turn, you needed to find the arrows that were pointing up that would then be turning to the right." The Not Going Out actor revealed: "The answer is 2." The ITV game show is a TV quiz favourite that doesn't rely on general knowledge, but instead tests players' logic and common sense. Round by round, the puzzles get increasingly difficult as more people are eliminated. The 1% Club players struggle on very tough letters question - can you outsmart them? It's not the first time players have struggled to get their heads round a question - and it certainly won't be the last. The popular show recently saw 16 celebs wiped out with an easy anagram question. The Soccer Aid special of the ITV game show tested 100 celebrities and athletes on their logic and common sense. The star-studded lineup included Jill Scott, Iain Stirling, Paddy McGuinness, Tommy Fury, Tony Bellew, Chris Hughes and many more. They all hoped to reach the end and win up to £100,000 prize money for the UNICEF charity. But by the 1% question there were just two contenders remaining. Could you tackle their teaser in just half a minute? The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and ITVX. 6 6 6 6
