ITV The 1% Club viewers were left bemused during Saturday’s show as they branded one of the questions – that stumped 70 per cent of people – as too easy.

Host Lee Mack leads the 100 quizzers through increasingly harder questions that were tested against the general public.

As the questions increase in difficulty, a smaller percentage of the public can answer leading eventually to the 1% Question – which 99 per cent of people polled by the show failed to get.

As the questions increase in difficulty, a smaller percentage of the public can answer leading eventually to the 1% Question – which 99 per cent of people polled by the show failed to get.

However, the 30% Question proved to be too much for three contestants despite being called the “easiest question in the history of the show” on social media.

The question read: “What two well-known eight letter words are made when the following are correctly paired?”

“Note, mill, wind and book,” were the words provided to contestants.

The majority of quizzers in the studio correctly guessed “notebook” and “windmill” was the solution while viewers at home flooded social media with their answers.

Three of the contestants were stumped by the quandary and lost out on a chance at the cash prize.

Viewers were quick to share their astonishment at the apparent simplicity of the question so late into the show.

“You’re telling me 70% of the people that took this survey got this wrong? Country is on its a***,” one despaired.

Another fumed: “Todays 30% questions, are you having a laugh?! Are the public that thick? This should be a 80-70% question!”

“Surely not. You can’t tell me that’s a 30% question,” a third questioned.

A fourth asked: “Are these primary school questions? Notebook and Windmill? Come on! #the1percentclub”

“Perhaps the easiest 30% question in the history of the show, certainly the easiest one tonight. #The1PercentClub,” a fifth slammed.

Evidently viewers were onto something as an impressive 12 contestants made it through to the final one percent round.

For the last question, the quizzers were tasked with making a word out of a sentence when certain letters were eliminated.

The sentence was “one selling fresh salmon” and the correct answer was “fishmonger”.

Only three of the final 12 got the answer right and split the £93,000 jackpot between themselves, securing £31,000 each.
