Viewers left completely baffled by The 1% Club answer they insist is wrong

'I said A and I still think A. I don't understand how it's not.'

The 1% Club first began to air back in 2022, and has become a staple of Saturday night TV since.

Each show begins with 100 contestants, but this is slowly whittled down as the questions get increasingly harder, with the final question being one that only 1% of those surveyed managed to get right.

In a recent episode, host Lee Mack asked the contestants: "Which of these groups of six symbols are in the same order whether you read them from left to right or from right to left?"

As five different sets of symbols came up on screen, there was some obvious confusion in the studio, from both Mack and the contestants.

We'll let you read the question and have a think for yourself.

Reckon you've got it?

Well, the correct answer to the question turned out to be C, but this ended up causing uproar on social media, with some people convinced this was wrong.

Many argued that it was in fact A that should have been the right answer, with one person writing on X: "I said A and I still think A. I don't understand how it's not."

Another asked: "Can someone please explain how it's C?"

Someone else said: "I thought it was A. C isn't in the same order. Explain please someone?"

A fourth exclaimed: "I said A and I still think A. I don’t understand how it’s not."

Another user argued that it was a "trick question" and that both A and C could be correct "depending on the definition of right to left used."

Thankfully, one clever viewer was on hand to explain the answer in full.

They said: "It's not about being mirrored; it's about what symbol is what. So A would be (from L-R): left bracket, right bracket, left bracket etc., but R-L it would be: right bracket, left bracket etc., which is different. Whereas C is left arrow-right arrow-right arrow etc. from both ends!"

If you still can't wrap your head round that, then perhaps The 1% Club isn't the quizzing show for you.

Maybe stick to Tipping Point.
