Viewers of The 1% Club were shocked when an 'easy' question caught players out. The ITV game show features a studio audience who all face 'logic and common sense'-style questions in a bid to win up to £100,000. All questions have been put to members of the public beforehand, and the percentage of those who answered correctly goes down at each stage.

To stay in the game, players in the studio must either answer correctly or use their single £1000 pass lifeline. During a recent episode, participants were presented with three different shapes and asked which square has the largest area. Five players missed the point of the question as they tried to do the maths and work out the biggest area.

They had not realised that in fact there could only be one possible answer because there was only one square on display. The other two shapes on display were rectangles, meaning that the maths in the question was irrelevant. When host Lee Mack asked one contestant what had happened, he said: 'I just completely idiotically looked at the area!'.
