The 1% Club is a unique format that doesn’t test players on their general knowledge like other shows.
Instead, it tests them on their logic, reasoning skills and common sense.
100 players are whittled down, question by question, as they are tasked with solving different riddles.
They aim to get to the last round where only one percent of the public could answer the final question correctly.
In one episode, Lee showed the contestants an image of a cat and asked: “Which is the correct picture of the cat once it has been rotated 180 degrees?”
After the contestants had 30 seconds to come up with the answer, Lee revealed that a whopping 10 players had been knocked out.
He then explained: ” That if you rotate the image 180 degrees it would look like choice A.”
However, that’s not the only time questions involving images have stumped players.
In the latest edition of the show, Lee showed the contestants three images that appeared to be a rope, a rocket and some test tubes.
He then asked them: “What common three word phrase is represented here?”
As the contestants put their thinking caps on, he quipped: “Looks like a selection of ways my wife has thought to get rid of me.”
He then revealed that four people had been knocked out and went on to reveal the answer.
“Not Rocket Science,” he explained.
He then spoke to Daisy, a contestant who used her pass during the round – because she didn’t know the answer.

“Well, listen well done Daisy, You’re still with us,” replied Lee before he went onto the next question.
