The 1% Club's mind-boggling arrow question requires a keen eye - but can YOU decode it within 30 seconds?

The 1% Club's mind-boggling arrow question requires a keen eye - but can YOU decode it within 30 seconds? In an episode of the ITV show, which aired back in 2022, two players lost their place in the competition after getting it wrong. Host Lee Mack, 56, returned to our screens to present the beloved show and see if anyone could answer the 1% question. But before they got to that stage, some struggled to answer one of the questions very early on in the episode. Lee said: 'We are at the 45% stage. Let's see the question... 'If you turn this image 90 degrees clockwise, how many arrows are pointing to the right? Your 30 seconds starts now.' The contestants were then shown a selection of blue arrows that were all going in different directions. Trying to amuse the players while wracking their brains, Lee said: 'This is like when my nan used to try and do a three-point turn.' The live audience saw the funny side of the gag and burst into laughter. After the 30 seconds was completed, Lee said: 'Okay, your time is up. Let's see who got the question right!' Only two got the answer incorrect, meaning that 18 players were still in the game at that point. Lee said: 'Let's have a look at the answer. It's two! As it's a 90 degree clockwise turn, you needed to find the arrows that were pointing up that would then be pointing to the right.' He then went to some of the audience members who got it right, including Georgia Massey. She confessed: 'I used my pass, honestly I got so, so confused. 'I went to pass then I was like no I'll try again and then I panicked... I've got to be in it so...' It comes after The 1% Club players were left very confused by a challenging letters question in a previous episode of the ITV show - but can you defy the odds and solve it? Three contestants waved goodbye to host Lee Mack, 56, and the other players after being asked the 15% question. Ten players remained and Lee asked them: 'It's now time for the 15% question... 'Which two words, that contain the same five letters as each other but in a different order, mean the same as the two words below?' The words below were 'fairly silent'. Making light of the situation, Lee told them: 'And the answer isn't Silent Fairly.' After revealing that their time was up, three players were given the boot. 'We lost three people there, let's look at the answer,' Lee said. He continued: 'It's quite and quiet. 'Fairly equals quite and silent equals quiet.' Lee pointed out: 'Somebody who got it right is Jackie Eminsang. 'You have just answered the 15% question... 'Did you think you'd get this far?' 'No, not at all,' she replied. 'I'm getting less confident with each question.' Lee didn't hold back and said: 'That's weird. But I know what you mean. 'It gets more tense I guess, doesn't it? The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.

The infected have evolved in '28 Years Later' — and they're scarier than ever

The "28 Days Later" franchise sees society collapsing after a virus escapes a lab and turns people into zombie-like killers. In "28 Years Later," while people have adapted to survive, the Rage Virus has evolved. Here's how the infected are different in the sequel. Warning: spoilers ahead for "28 Years Later." In " 28 Years Later," the Rage Virus that turned Britain post-apocalyptic in the original movie has evolved, meaning the survivors have new types of the infected to deal with. Spike (Alfie Williams), a 12-year-old boy, is the film's protagonist. He lives on the island of Lindisfarne, cut off from the mainland by the tide, which saves the community from the Rage Virus. His father, Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), takes him hunting on the mainland as a rite of passage, and Spike learns how dangerous the rest of the country has become after 28 years of the virus spreading. It isn't long before the young boy comes face-to-face with the infected. "There have been evolutions because we didn't want to just stand still with them," the film's director Danny Boyle told IGN in June, referring to the infected. "28 Years Later" introduces "Slow Lows" and "Alphas." On the mainland, Jamie constantly reminds Spike to be vigilant of the infected, and explains that there are "Slow Lows" who crawl on the ground eating bugs. Slow lows are more bloated than the original infected, and their skin is pale and mottled. While they're easier to kill from a distance, their loud screams draw attention. Interestingly, Jamie chooses not to kill one of the Slow Lows when he realizes she's a little girl, and she flees into the undergrowth when he lets her go. But the Slow Lows pale in comparison to the "Alphas," who are much bigger and stronger than the other infected. One Alpha, who is nicknamed Samson (Chi Lewis-Parry), shows off his brute strength by ripping a soldier's head off along with his spine with his bare hands. The Alphas can also withstand getting struck by several arrows without dying, although they can be killed by the large flaming javelins used by the guards on the Lindisfarne gate. Jamie tells Spike that in specific people, the Rage Virus acts like bodybuilding steroids, which appears to make them invulnerable to minor injuries. The Alphas make things difficult for Spike and his mother, Isla (Jodie Comer), when they go looking for a mysterious doctor on the mainland and come across one in the ruins of an old train. Knowing they can't kill an Alpha cranks up the terror in a nail-biting chase sequence.
