The 1% Club fans baffled as they're left feeling like 'absolute geniuses'

The 1% Club enthusiasts have confessed they're "worrying for society" following a particularly contentious question.

The popular ITV quiz show, hosted by the witty Lee Mack, often splits viewers with some left scratching their heads and others quickly identifying the correct answer - and this latest conundrum was no exception.

The programme's unique format involves 100 participants tackling a series of questions that have been previously answered by the public, with each round increasing in difficulty, culminating in a final question known only to an elite 1%.

As host Lee Mack presents the 15 questions, contestants are gradually eliminated. Each contestant starts with a £1,000 stake and must secure their answers within a tight 30-second window, either advancing to the next stage or using a pass after the 50% mark.

Reaching the final round not only brings prestige but also the chance to bag up to £100,000 or a share of the prize money.

Typically, the 10% question proves to be one of the toughest, with an average of just 10 contestants getting it right on the show, reports Bristol Live.

However, one particular question has sparked debate among fans on social media, leading to a split opinion over whether it should be more straightforward to solve, while leaving others utterly perplexed.

Circulating on Facebook, a fan posted the puzzling query: "Two has 3, three has 5, and four has 4. Logically, how many does five have?"

Upon realising the answer was based on the number of letters in the word (with five having 4), one person commented: "If that's 10% then I worry for society."

Echoing the sentiment, a fan responded: "That was my thought too," while another quickly boasted: "4 quickest I ever got one."

Yet, someone offered a different take: "If 3 has 5, then 5 would have 3."

To which another retorted: "You would deffo be out," and someone else chuckled: "Better use your pass mate."

Confusion reigned for some, with a comment reading: "Is this an American question," and another admitting defeat: "I can't work it out."

Many felt the question was far too simple for its supposed difficulty level, with remarks such as "too easy" for a 10% question and one stating: "I got it instantly when reading. That was easy as, how is that a 10% question?"

Others suggested a higher difficulty rating, with one adding: "Definitely like a 50% question at most though."

The low difficulty rating baffled many, prompting one to jest: "How is this only 10%? Like seriously are they asking chickens, toddlers and dogs?"

And amidst the mixed reactions, one individual humorously declared: "I must be an absolute genius."
