Fans of ITV's The 1% Club were left baffled by the final picture question in the latest episode, thanks to a hidden detail in the wording. The show, hosted by Lee Mack, challenges contestants with riddles rated by the percentage of the public who can solve them.
The question posted on X read: 'If you take away all the flags that have stars, circles, red crosses, black stripes, and the colour green, which one is left?' The flags labelled A to I included Algeria, Trinidad and Tobago, the UK, Scotland, Aland, Bangladesh, Japan, Senegal, and Tanzania.
Viewers argued that the use of 'and' instead of 'or' meant no flag had all those features, so all should remain. One fan commented: 'All of them because none of them have stars, circles, red crosses, black stripes and the colour green.' Another said: 'It's technically D, but the way the question is worded, it could technically be a trick question with all of them left.'
The official account later confirmed the correct answer was D, Scotland. The show, which sees contestants answer increasingly difficult riddles within 30 seconds, culminates in the 1% question for a chance to win up to £100,000.
