The latest episode of ITV's hit quiz show, The 1% Club, concluded with a dramatic and lucrative victory, leaving a national audience scratching their heads. The show, which aired on Saturday, 15th November 2025, culminated in its signature fiendishly difficult final question that only a tiny percentage of people can solve.
The Final Four and the Jackpot
Hosted by the quick-witted Lee Mack, the programme started with 100 contestants competing through a series of increasingly difficult logic-based questions. The goal was to reach the final challenge, a question that market research indicated only 1% of the public could answer correctly. On this particular night, the field was whittled down to just four determined finalists.
They were competing for a life-changing £95,000 jackpot. As the tension mounted, all four contestants provided different answers to the ultimate puzzle, but only one would walk away with the entire prize fund.
The Infamous 1% Question
Lee Mack posed the final question to the contestants, giving them a mere 30 seconds to solve it. The challenge was: "How many squares are there in this image?"
The image presented was a complex grid pattern, designed to trick the eye and the mind. While the contestants raced against the clock, viewers at home were also trying to crack the code, with many taking to social media to express their disbelief.
The Reveal and the Winner
After the tense half-minute countdown, Lee Mack revealed the correct answer: 46. The winning contestant, Martin, was the sole player to give this response, securing the massive £95,000 prize pot for himself.
The outcome sparked a wave of reactions from the audience. One baffled viewer summed up the feeling of many by writing online, "No way I would have gotten that one." The puzzle proved to be a true test of perception and logical reasoning, living up to the show's formidable reputation.
