1% Club finalist gets difficult £96K question wrong – but still walks away with 10K – could you have got it?
THE 1% Club finalist got a difficult £96K question wrong but still walked away with 10K – but could you have got it right?
The popular ITV game show seeks to test the common sense and logic of an audience, rather than their general knowledge, but this question was very tricky.
Contestant Rebecca was the only player to make it to the 1% question, with host Lee Mack asking her if she wanted to play or not.
Lee said: “Rebecca because you have done so well and made it to our final question, you win £10,000.
“But now you face a dilemma, you can leave the show now and take the £10,000 or you can risk it all by attempting the 1% question.
“If you get it right you will win everything in the prize pot which stands at £96,000. So, what’s going on in your head right now?”
Rebecca replied: “I kind of thought that if there was more than one person here, I would probably carry on.
“But £10,000 is a lot of money.”
Lee agreed and asked her what her hit rate was like on the 1% question.
Rebecca revealed: “It is about fifty-fifty” before deciding to play it safe and take the money.
As per the rules of the game, Liz was still presented with the question to see whether she would have gotten it right or not.
The question was: “On their first date Noah and Evie discovered they were both born in the same year, 2001, and in the same month May.
“Evie asked Noah on what date in May he was born and their conversation is shown below. What is Evie’s date of birth?”
In the conversation Noah says: “If you add the two digits in the date together you get 11.”
Evie replies: “In that case I am exactly four weeks older than you.”
After her time was up Rebecca said: “I was going to say the 30th but I don’t think that’s right.”
Lee revealed the answer was in fact, the 1st May and explained Noah was born on the 29th May and Evie was born on the 1st May, 28 days earlier.
“Well done, Rebecca, you did the right thing,” said Lee.
Rebecca breathed a sigh of relief, knowing she made the right decision by taking home the money rather than playing for the massive cash prize.
