The 1% Club final question that left ITV viewers unable to understand what was being asked

While many might think a bit of a brainteaser is enough to keep your mind in tip-top shape, The 1% Club is something that might do the opposite.

The Lee Mack-hosted game show is famous for eschewing that traditional general knowledge quiz format and instead putting contestants' general knowledge to the test.

Which means you often get to the end of the programme and find yourself faced with questions which on the surface appear to make absolutely no sense whatsoever.

For example, previous questions which have left people stumped involve solving impossible number sequences, spotting errors in confusing paragraphs of text and forcing your brain to spot patterns in random jumbles of words.

To be fair though, the questions are designed to catch 99 percent of the population out, so most of us aren't supposed to come up with a correct answer.

Viewers were scratching their heads over Lee Mack's question earlier this year on The 1% Club (ITV)

One lucky person who was able to get to the last question was Hillal, a contestant who appeared on season 3 earlier this year with a bang and managed to bash out answers like there’s no tomorrow.

In the final, she was asked a question which had viewers questioning their sanity as she had to answer ‘What letter completes this sequence? SMHDWM.’

Looking at those letters, I have absolutely no idea what I’m supposed to be working out. Do any of you know?

Well, with just 30 second on the clock, Hillal provided her answer and managed to completely smash it.

Her answer was ‘Y’, and why was she correct? It’s because the sequence was in fact talking about the measurement in time.

SMHDWM and Y amounted to Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks, Months and Years.

She couldn’t believe her luck, while viewers at home were sat looking round at each other as they wondered ‘what the f**k was that question’.

On social media, people immediately piped up about the insane question, while some got it instantly, with one saying: "You could give me 10 hours and I couldn’t answer that. Never mind 30 seconds."

Another commented: "I literally said Y because “Shake My Head Dya Know Whatta Mean Yeah?” and someone else wrote: "I didn’t even understand the question let alone get the answer."

"That’s so easy for the 1% question," said a user, while another penned: "This was the easiest 1% question I've ever seen, but they do say it's only easy if you know the answer."

This isn’t the first time, nor will it be the last time, that the show has divided fans.

During the Christmas special, host Lee Mack presented the contestants with two near identical images of an animated Christmas scene and asked to spot the difference between the two.

Well, it was an image of Santa, a reindeer and a snowman sitting down at a table together to eat turkey. However, Santa’s legs were gone in one of the images.

Seems, easy, right? Wrong. 28 people were eliminated as they couldn’t spot it.
