Fewer than two in 10 people can answer this 1 Percent Club question that many still think 'can't be right'

When you’re slothing out on the sofa, it seems easy to just shout out answers at a quiz show and get them right.

But in reality, we’re not all the smart ar*es we think think we are. Stop lying to yourselves, lads.

Sure, you might think you’d smash The 1% Club but being on the popular TV show would probably be harder than you expect.

And that’s summed up well by the amount of us who end up baffled by questions.

Or, we kick off and stick to thinking the answer ‘can’t be right’, like with a question that fewer than two in 10 people can answer.

The 1% Club sees 100 members of the public (in this case, the Aussies) putting their logic, common sense and intelligence to the test.

As contestants become fewer and fewer as the questions go on, any contestant who can correctly answer a question that only one percent of the nation got right will win a share of up to £100,000 cash.

In one episode, only 15 percent of people where able to come up with something for the question that was soon reposted to social media because of how tricky it was, racking up plenty of confused comments.

Host Jim Jefferies asked: “Frodo has forgotten his hotel room number. All he remembers is that it had at least one 'nine'. If the hotel has rooms numbered one to 100, how many might be Frodo's?"

Reckon that’s easy enough? Have a proper think, lads.

So, the answer for this was 19. Did you get that?

Now, pretend we’re back at school, ‘let’s work it out together’.

The answer includes the numbers nine, 29, 39, 49, 59, 69, 79 and 89, plus all the ten rooms from 90 to 99, making 19 possible rooms in total.

But plenty of users on TikTok said they’d been totally thrown off as they were ‘confidently saying 10 and forgetting everything between 90-98’.

And others won’t accept 19 is the right answer as they slammed: “I said 18 because they said at least one 9 so I thought 99 can’t be right.”

Another wrote: “Incorrect 18 should the answer, he knows it can't b a single digit #. 9 shouldn't b an answer. just saying lol.”

With others asking: “If it says at least one nine does that not mean there’s another number beside it and nine on it’s own doesn’t count?”

Where as one threw in the mind f**k: “I said 1 because the question asked how many might be Frodo’s. It didn’t ask how many room Frodo has to check.”
