ITV fans who have regularly tuned into The 1% Club will be familiar with its format. The show follows 100 contestants, who are slowly eliminated as they attempt to make it to the end and successfully answer a question that only one per cent of the population can guess right. Sometimes, contestants and viewers at home are given a picture question – which can stump people. A recent episode that featured three images as part of a question baffled several players, but can you work it out within 30 seconds?
The 15% question was as follows: “What word can go after each of these images to make three new things?” The first picture was a block of butter, the second was a red dragon, and the third was a fruit selection.

Comedian Lee Mack, who hosts the show, revealed that six players answered the question wrong. He confirmed that the right answer was “FLY,” showing a screen with a butterfly, dragonfly, and fruitfly.
In the end, only one player made it to the important 1% question, and had the opportunity to bag £100,000. Steve was informed that he could be the first player to take home the £100K cash prize if he gambled correctly.
His question was, “What two letters replace the question marks?” The baffling question then read, “TE times T equals MESSAGE. TO times IN equals POISON. E times ?? equals LEAVE.”
After 30 seconds, Steve guessed and put as his answer “NE.” However, in a cruel twist of fate, Lee said that the right answer was “IT” and explained: “If you replace ‘times’ with ‘X’, you form words with the same meaning as the words on the right.”
