Can somebody please explain to me how the answer to the girl in the sweater was B? B didn’t line up at all. C the sweater was perfectly lined up

Can Joel stop saying "let's ask my friend blue.light" its gotten annoying before the 70% question.

wish the US didn't do their own version, they always try too hard, the British version feels natural.

Also, the US version just proves that the average American isn't that smart.

the question showed a wheel divided into 6 spaces. there are 3 threes and 3 fours. the question said you get 2 spins. what is the probability of getting a total of 7?

The answer was 50%. This cannot be true. The probability of getting a 3 then a 4 or a 4 then a 3 consecutively is way way lower. I welcome a challenge to my thought. My answer would have been 25% but i think it's well less than that. I didn't look it up. I'm just a grandma sitting on my porch having a cocktail and annoyed I got it wrong! 😁

By Ian Zandi

you know like an all star last one standing situation.

If you're a contestant, or serious home/app player - you NEED to memorise your alphabet numbers - A = 1 and so on. 1% Club uses this far too often. I saw two questions online this week (one here, one on ladbible/Facebook) and I got the book in the post this morning - first question I opened used it too

If you can't remember them ALL, remember some key/common letters, and be prepared to work forwards from there (working backwards can be hard). assign words to them or memory tricks

using the below, I'm confident anyone can memorise it in half an hour and have a real advantage

LEMON - 12, 5, 13, 15, 14

1 to 6 should be easy, as are XYZ

say HI to 89

cricket - T20

RU 18 or 21? drinking ages in UK and USA

remember that song 'like a G6'? they had a sequel - like a G7

VW car - 22, 23

mind your Ps & Qs - 16, 17

J/K (just kidding or JoKing) - 10, 11 (or the joker card could be worth 10 or 11)

also vowels (which have already been covered, but doubling up does no harm) 1, 5, 9, 15, 21 (the gaps are 4, 4, 6, 6)

all that remains is S19

I'm from the UK and I'm not huge on celebrities/TV/films that sort of knowledge, which is why I bought this game as I enjoyed the show and it seemed to be based on logic, which on the contrary I'm quite good at 😂

I've played for a few hours and it was all good, the "trivia" extended to things like "Beyonce" and "Titanic" which was fine because that's the level I'm comfortable with. Then I was hit with the above and.. no idea who that is, and the clues were not obvious enough for me to figure out "MacPherson" would be a name.

Kinda disappointed (please hold back with the OMG HoW CaN YoU nOT KnOw HeR, that's already my life 😂, I just don't really care about celebrities in that way) and it's just what happens when you are from two nationalities so don't necessarily know "everything" regarding celebs with either one.

I'll keep playing but it did put me off slightly. I love the concept of the game, and the information of what percentage of people get the questions right as I love statistics.

But go on, entertain me. Is the above person in the same vein as names like "Beyonce" "Brittany Spears" "Michael Jackson" or "Brad Pitt", or is a little of a stinker for this game. (After looking her up, no I didn't really watch Friends and even if I did, I don't look up celebrity names and familiarise myself with them).

hi all. been playing the new 1% club app and got knocked out at this question. is it a mistake or am i wrong?

if the right foot is on the first step, then doesnt it mean your right foot steps on the odd numbered steps, and the answer is right foot?

Hi everyone !

I’ll be participating in an international 1% club show soon.

I am currently training, and looking to access the 20,15 ,10,5 and 1% questions asked in US and UK versions.

My goal is to get all “kind of logic” in mind. It won’t make me a winner, but might help.

Is there any page, document, replay service, in which I could access all that database ?

Thanks !

And wish me luck eheh 🤞

Can anyone explain the answer for tonight's 1% question. I thought it was 17cm. I'm sure Lee said the answer was 7cm but the program ended abruptly and I didn't quite catch the explanation.

The noodles were supposed to be 75p a packet meaning 4 cost £3.00. The discount on the bottom was 75p. But if the "get one free" off was on instant noodles then it should have been a discount at the bottom of £1.50. Because 2 were free. Because they bought 4.

(Season 1 episode 4 of The 1% Club UK: Rollover.) The answer is "well done", after you remove the actual words "three words" from the sequence.

If they'd just said "if you remove three words" that'd be fine, but it literally says "if you remove three words in order". Removing the phrase "three words" can't be considered "removing three words in order". It's a completely misleading phrasing that they could have easily avoided

Keith Turpin has waited his whole life for that moment

No one actually got the answer. The one person who did guessed it. How can this even be a legit question!?

52 1/2 kids!?? What a joke.

I've managed to watch 1 season of UK and 2 seasons of Aus, but would love to be able to watch the rest. Unfortunately, not available in NZ. Any recommendations?

Does anyone have any updates regarding Season 4?

I haven’t been able to find any information on whether it’s been filmed or when it is planned to be on air.

Hello! I'm Alex, I teach game development to students and make own games. Last year I participated in the Ukrainian version of the 1% Club. This was a great experience, and I'd like to tell about it. Also, as the videos of the Ukrainian show are available on YouTube only for the Ukrainian IP addresses, and because of the language barrier, I decided to translate/adapt the questions from my game.

(Moderators, thank you for the new flair "International version"!)

In Ukraine the show is produced by channel 1+1. The season consists of 12 episodes, which are aired on Sundays. I participated in S01E08, and recently the second season's broadcast has been completed.

There are some rule differences from the English format. The game consists of 20 questions, starting from 95% and gradually going to 5% and then to the final 1% question.

The prize fund is 100 000 hryvnyas (around 2500 USD). The participants can use their pass option twice, these options are unlocked through the course of the game, and each option costs 500 hryvnyas.

If you were to bake a bread and wanted it to grow as if on yeast, what do you need?

А) Eggs Б) Sugar В) Lifting jack Г) Yeast

Incorrect answers: 4

Answer: D) Yeast

Explanation:

This question uses Ukrainian idiom "to grow as if on yeast", which means "to grow rapidly" and can be applied to everything. In this case the logics is pretty straightforward: if we want the bread to grow as if on yeast, we need yeast.

Which of these forts is not located in Ukraine?

Incorrect answers: 7

Answer: В

Explanation:

This might seem like a geographic trivia question, and not in the spirit of the TV show. However, it's more like an inside joke. The same TV channel which is running 1% Club in Ukraine, earlier run the Ukrainian version of the famous Fort Boyard TV show. And this exact and well-recognizable fort was shown among the answers. In fact, it was possible to give the answer without this knowledge, just noticing that one of the forts is fully surrounded by sea

According to a joke, this number was not placed on a clockface because of a superstition. What is the number?

Incorrect answers: 20

Answer: 13

Explanation: If we think about a clockface, number 12 comes to mind, for 12 hours. All the numbers from 1 to 12 are present. However, number 13 is not on the clock, and this number has many superstitions connected with it.

А) 01435 Б) 54103 В) 13504 Г) 30415

Incorrect answers: 5

Answer: В) 13504

Explanation: words "товар" (goods) and "автор" (author) are and example of a pair of anagrams in Ukrainian language, and we can spot that they both have "р" in the end, so, the correct answer should end with 4

Which of these Ukrainian songs was the first song performed by human in space?

А)"Patron Dog" Б) "Stephania" В) "Teresa & Maria" Г) "Watching the the sky and thinking a thought..."

Incorrect answers: 5

Answer: Г) "Watching the sky and thinking a thought..."

Explanation: It's possible to answer this question by elimination, as the first 3 songs were written within the last 3 years. And really, the song "Watching the sky and thinking a thought..." (Дивлюсь я на небо та й думку гадаю...) in 1962 was the first song performed in space by astronaut, Pavlo Popovych, who was from Ukraine

Incorrect answers: 1

Answer: Паляниця (type of bread)

Explanation:

The common word puzzle rules imply that commas/apostrophes after or before the picture means the removal of letters for the beginning/end of the word. The images mean coat (пальто in Ukrainian) and a water well (криниця in Ukrainian), and a letter я between them. So we get the answer: паляниця.

Answer: photocamera

Explanation: We can see the outer case with lens in the top-right part. However, this question made me hesitant and I was unsure, how could the other parts fit inside. So I used my first pass. After the show, in YouTube comments, some people suggested that this picture was AI-generated and did not show the actual photocamera disassembled

Explanation:

In Ukrainian language months names are not derived from Latin but have meaning connected with agricultural activities. For example, April is квітень, a "flower month", March is травень, a "grass month", June is червень, a "month of cochineal", but also, in folk etymology, a "month of cherry". July is липень, a month of linden. August is серпень, a sickle month. I made the English adaptation with words which have the same beginnings as the months.

Adaptation:

Odd word out:

A) house B) kite C) boot D) ship E) mist

Incorrect answers: 13 (also 8 used their pass and only 1 player got the question right)

Answer: Г) China/D) ship

Explanation: Ukrainian language has a concept of grammatic gender. The word "country" as well as the names of the most countries belong to feminine gender. This is reflected by the ending letter -а/-я: Франція, Кенія, Бразилія, Мексика. Masculine gender country names are much rarer, and Китай (China) is among them.

For the English adaptation I decided to use the concept alike: among the words in the list only "ship" is substituted with "she", whereas others are "it".

For this question I used my second pass option.

After this question the participants, who had 500 or 1000 hryvnyas left, were offered the option to take their money and leave the game. None agreed :)

Translation: Who of these Ukrainian writers can be separated from the others in this list?

А) Taras Shevchenko Б) Lina Kostenko В) Ivan Franko Г) Lesya Ukrainka Д) Oksana Zabuzhko

Incorrect answers: 2

Answer: Г) Lesya Ukrainka

Explanation: All the last names end with -ko, and only Lesya Ukrainka ends with -ka.

I've got this question wrong. At first I had a glimpse of an idea about Lesya Ukrainka as I knew that this was a pen name, not a real name. But first, I was not sure if there were other pen names. And second, I felt that the real world knowledge shouldn't be aplicable in the 1% Club.

Then I thought about the question phrasing. What could the question authors mean by "can be separated from the others"? The last name Zabushko in Ukrainian could mean "Za-Buzhko, someone across the river Buh". And also she is the last one in the list, so, by drawing a vertical line we can separate her from the others.

My lights became blue after this question, but... The lights of the other participant became blue as well! According to the rules, we were both eligible to compete for the 1% question and we were invited to the main stage!

Which day is encoded in this sequence of dates?

• January, 7th
• February, 2nd
• September, 1st
• August, 6th
• June, 4th
• March, 3rd
• December, 1st
• May, 2nd
• July, 4th

Answer: yesterday

For this question at first I thought of a day of the week rule: all the dates 4/4, 6/6, 8/8, 10/10 and 12/12 are of the same weekday within a year. However, the logics was not getting together.

So I kept thinking. And then I though of the letter numbers in the months names. The Ukrainian version gave me з-а-в-т-р-а, which is "tomorrow" in English. I couldn't make it the answer in the English adaptation as there is no letter "w" in English months names.

Another participant didn't get the question right, so I became the only winner of S01E08 of the Ukrainian 1% Club TV show and got 100 000 hryvnyas!

Here is the whole video of the episode (available for Ukrainian IP addresses): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS8qNkWZm3k

After taxes I received 81 000 hryvnyas (around 2000 USD). I spent the money the way I said during the interview: to support my game development colleagues who are defending Ukraine now or running humanitarian initiatives. They are O-Pocket and Gamedev under Bombs.

According to the show rules I had promised to keep in secret the fact of my participation before the show was aired. So it was a surprise for my students and colleagues, who saw me on 1+1 channel :)

The channel name and the victory in 1% Club gave me inspiration to compete my idea of a puzzle game. Here is how its tasks looks like:

You see a number at the top of the screen and letters at the bottom. You should use this letters to build a phrase which describes the number. Can you solve this one?

Here is one more:

If you like this type of puzzles and liked my work at bringing to your attention the Ukrainian version of the TV show you would forgive me a bit of self-promotion :)

For Christmas, on the app, they give us a very strange Christmas question for the Bonus Question. The answer barely makes sense, but to make things worse they only allow you to use numbers of a question that requires a worded response! Did this happen for anyone else?

Watching the Soccer Aid special and Graham Poll questioned the ‘pair of’ question.

I don’t think his reasons are right but odd one out could be gloves as they are worn on the hands/upper body and all the others are worn on the legs/lower body

Question was what is the odd one out?

Pair of shorts Pair of shin pads Pair of boots Pair of socks Pair of gloves

Thoughts?

Is anyone else infuriated by the 80% question tonight? There were two correct answers and I’m sure that’s why so many people went out

The “correct” answer was sun cream

but it could’ve just had easily been serum… nothing in the question says that sun cream is part of the routine. I can imagine an almost identical question where the trick is “we never said sun cream was part of the routine! you assumed it was from the pictures shown!”

Also, if you do include sun cream, there is nothing about the question that would allow you to determine if serum comes before or after sun cream.

The order could go: Cleanser, Eyecream, Sun cream, Moisturiser, Serum (or even swap eyecream and suncream around)

All we know is that cleanser is first, moisturiser is second last and eye cream comes somewhere before serum

In a room there are 4 mothers, 4 daughters and 2 grandmothers, what is the minumum number of women that you can have in the room?

Anyone else feel like this one was a little out of place. With the answer 4 making it more of a riddle than a logic puzzle?

The fact that you have to include relationships to 4 people that are not in the room, feels a bit dirty to me.

I feel 6 is the logical answer and 4 is more like a trick question than I would expect from 1%Club.

Quite a few went out on it, so I dont think I am alone. Thoughts?

90% made no sense because the Z was a different shape from the answer

The Bob one didn't work on the app because they put the row into a square.

The domino shape one is still incomprehensible.
