A NUMBER sequence question wiped out a total of 17 people on The 1% Club in a shock result.
A large number of people were left rattled by the 70% question which was all about identifying a missing number.
Lee Mack posed the question to the group in order to see who would be able to make it through to the next round.
They were all hoping they could make it all the way to the end and pick up a share of £100,000.
Appearing rather simple, the question read: “Here is a range of numbers from 1 to 61. What is the missing number?”
Every number up to 61, bar one, were then listed and all typed out in an assortment of different colours.
30 seconds were then placed on the clock with the contestants aiming to find which number had disappeared.
But it seemed that it wasn’t enough time for everyone as 17 of them failed to get it correct.
Lee then quipped: “That was quite a lot of you, we have lost 17 there.”
The correct answer was then revealed to be 29.
Eagle-eyed viewers and quizzers would have noticed that the numbers jumped straight from 28 up to 30.
It proved that 17 people were unable to correctly spot the missing number.
It comes after another question on the show wiped out 32 players.
Lee posed a question which was all about identifying which statement had to be false.
The star said: “Which of these would it be impossible to do?”
He then read aloud the three options.
These were – “marry your cousin’s cousin”, “marry your brother’s widow” or ” marry your widow’s sister”.
32 got it wrong but as the correct answer was revealed to be that it would be impossible to marry your own widow’s sister as you would already be dead.
