The 1% Club viewers have complained about an answer on the Lee Mack fronted quiz show.
Fans of the notoriously difficult quiz show are encouraged to play along as 100 contestants compete to win prize money of up to £100,000. They are tasked with answering a series of questions, the last of which would only be known by one percent of the public.
However, last week, one viewer took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to complain about one of the answers on the show. The question under scrutiny was: "If you had eight fingers on your left hand, six fingers on your right hand, the same number of toes on your right foot as your left hand and three toes on your left foot, how many fingers and toes would you have on total?"
The frustrated fan wrote: "Surely this is 17 @1PercentClubITV, 'The same number of toes on your right foot as your left hand' means the same number of toes on my right foot as there are toes on my left hand = 0. 8 + 6 + 0 + 3 = 17." (sic)
The viewer's tweet was flooded with replies from other budding quizzers with some agreeing with him while others claimed he was being "pedantic". One commented: "Given this show is all about how the questions are phrased, it's a bit of a cock up on their part that they didn't say 'the same number of toes on your right foot as the number of fingers on your left hand...', to which the original viewer replied: "Yes… I thought it was 17 because spotting that sort of detail within the question seemed to be the point of the questions."
On the show, 25 was given as the right answer but the viewer argued in the comments: "25 is what they put as the right answer - but for that to be correct the Q ought to have said “the same number of toes on your right foot as you have fingers on your left hand”. But it didn’t."
Another viewer revealed that a Digital Spy forum for the ITV show claimed that 17 was accepted as an answer. They claimed: "The independent adjudicator had to be called in on this one cos someone gave an answer about this. Their answer was accepted."
Mirror has contacted ITV for comment on the answer.
This isn't the first "error" that has been pointed out by viewers, with another potential mistake spotted during the most recent episode. Fans noticed there seemed to be multiple correct answers to a question from the 30 per cent section.
It read: “Amrit and his grandad share the same birthday. Their birthday balloons arrive muddled up. Amrit’s grandad is three times older than him. How old is Amrit?” Four gold balloons shaped in the numbers of six, eight, seven and two were in an image below the question.
The correct answer was that Amrit is 26 years old, making his grandfather 78, but one viewer claimed on the show’s official Instagram page that their partner was “adamant” his answer of 29 was also right.
“There’s no string on those balloons,” they wrote. “Therefore, you could turn the six upside down. 3x29=87 What do you reckon? Was he still in, or was he out of the game?”
Viewers agreed and pointed out that the lack of strings on the balloons may have led to confusion. “If I had put that [29] in the studio I would expect to appeal!” one frustrated viewer argued. “Previous questions have used balloons to switch six and nines.”
