The 1% Club knocks out whopping 30 people with tricky smiley face question – could you work out the answer?

THE 1% Club knocked out a whopping 30 players with a smiley face question – but could you work out the answer?

Lee Mack hosts the ITV game show testing logic and common sense.

Contestants hope to reach the end and win up to £100,000 prize money.

However, one question saw an incredible 30 people eliminated in one fell swoop.

Presenter Lee asked: “Have a look at this picture. Are there more happy faces or sad faces?”

The players were then shown 18 emoji faces arranged in three rows of six.

Once the time limit was up, Lee revealed 30 people had answered incorrectly and were therefore out.

The right answer turned out to be “happy” – as there were 10 happy faces and eight sad ones.

With his trademark quick wit, Lee quipped: “Well, there’s 30 sad ones now!”

It’s not the first time a single question on The 1% Club caught out several people.

In a different episode, a savage limerick question took out 14 contestants,

The poetic puzzle asked: “Jamil is writing a limerick but needs a word that follows these rules to complete the last line…

“Two syllables, only two different vowels, starts with an even -numbered letter and contains at least three letters from the second half of the alphabet. Which of these words would work?”

The options were: Doggie, Blades, Hotel, Prizes and Rabbit.

The remaining players faces looked puzzled as they tried to figure out the answer within the 30 seconds.

Lee then revealed the right answer was Prizes – after 14 people had been knocked out.

The episode also saw an ‘easy’ common sense riddle knock out 23 people earlier on in the show.

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.

The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
