THE 1% Club viewers were left scratching their heads after a “simple” Coronation Street question proved too tricky for most players.

The ITV game show, hosted by comedian Lee Mack, challenged contestants to spot the difference in a classic cobbles scene from Coronation Street.

Spot the difference: two images of the Rovers Return Inn.

Lee Mack is the question master on The 1% Club

Instead of testing players on their general knowledge, 100 contestants try their luck at solving riddles within 30 seconds.

On The 1% Club, they are whittled down round by round as they are tasked with using their logic, reasoning skills, and common sense.

From the "easy" 90% puzzle to the hardest question - which only 1% of people answer correctly - £1,000 is added to the prize pot when each person is eliminated.

The players that remain at the end will fight to win a potentially huge jackpot prize and a chance at joining the prestigious one percent club.

In a recent episode, the 70% question saw contestants get wiped out on an easy picture question.

Lee asked: "What is the difference between these two images?"

The players were then shown two images of the Corrie pub - but with one major difference.

As the contestants locked in their answers, Lee joked: "That's easy this... one's on the left and one's on the right."

After the 30 seconds was up, Lee revealed that three people hadn't spotted the difference.

Did you notice it within the time?

The 1% Club players stumped on tricky maths question as 13 players pass - but could you have got it right-

Lee then went on to reveal that the name on the pub had changed.

He said: "The image on the right shows Ravers instead of Rovers."

Another episode also saw an "easy" common sense riddle knock out a massive 23 people - also a 70% question.

Lee said: "John writes with his right hand and the last word he'd right if he was writing this sentence would be be.

"If Keith writes with his left hand, what would be the last word he would write in the sentence above?"

The answer was the word "be", as a different writing hand would not change the last word, something which many viewers playing along got correct.

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.

However, a whopping 23 players in the studio answered the riddle incorrectly and they were eliminated from the game.

Viewers took to social media in droves as they couldn't believe so many players left the game after such an "easy" question

One wrote: "How t* have 23 gone out?? Being left handed doesn't mean you write words in the wrong order."

Another added: "Too many people thinking too hard on that one #The1PercentClub."
