The 10 toughest ever 1% Club Questions revealed – but how many can you get right?
THE 10 toughest ever questions on The 1% Club have been revealed.
Usually, ITV viewers see Lee Mack, 56, front the game show which tests 100 players on their logic, reasoning skills and common sense.
On The 1% Club, the contestants are whittled down as they attempt to make it to the end by answering questions with a time limit.
In the hope of winning £100,000, the last question would be something that only 1% of the country can get right.
The show also airs in the US with its own edition hosted by comedian, Patton Oswalt, with questions that completely divide viewers.
Some players think too quickly and easy with some of the questions, whilst other contestants struggle as they look into them to hard.
I wanted to spell with my spoonful of alphabet soup. What’s the longest word I could create using the letters in the spoon as many times as I want?
Note: Players can use the letters more than once, but it’s difficult to find the longest word possible in the given time period of just 30 seconds.
Answer: Inconvenienced
Last month was not May or July. Next month is not January, March, or November. Neither last month nor next month is April, August, or December. What month must it be?
Note: This is a very tricky one because it requires multiple rounds of elimination, all in 30 seconds.
Answer: April – The ‘last month’ clue rules out June and August. The ‘next month’ clue rules out December, February and October. The ‘neither last month nor next month’ clue rules out every other month except April.
What four-word phrase can you get if you keep everything below, but remove “two letters” in order?
Note: Contestants would have to understand that removing the words “two letters” from the sequence would reveal the hidden phrase.
Answer: I am a winner
Listen up! What is the only letter of the alphabet logically missing from this list?
Note: This required players to see how letters are actually visually constructed. The missing letter V completes the group of letters that all feature one or more straight lines in their design.
Answer: V
What word are you left with if you DEBUG this line of code? VANTIFLEACTOBEETLERTICKY
Note: Players would have to go through the meaningless jumble of characters to find the intended word. Isn’t it hard!
Answer: Victory
What are the commonly known four-letter words that can be found inside the five words listed; Pumpkin, Bicycle, Penchant, Pageant, Nowhere?
Note: One would have to find the composition of longer words and spot a potential pattern. Trick question in some respects because some are more in the definition whilst others are in the spelling.
Answer: Pump, Page, Here
Logically, which letter comes next in the sequence?
Note: This comes from seeing that the sequence follows the first letters of the days of the week – Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Answer: A
What common word do you get using the missing five letters, once each, from the below eye exam?
Note: Players would have to find the missing letters, mentally organise them and find a word that made sense, all within 30 seconds!
Answer: Sight
Look at the image and follow the directions. What nine-letter word is represented by this image?
Note: Each arrow was pointing to a different direction, North, East, South, West and combine the first letters with the only visible one to form the word.
Answer: Sweetness
What letter pair could squeeze into the same position inside each of these words to make longer words?
Note: The words would be transformed Juice, Peering and Jeer would be transformed into Justice, Pestering, and Jester respectively.
Answer: ST
How many did you get right?

‘You go through some dark times’ – John Higgins lifts lid on struggles as he finally ends four-year hoodoo
JOHN Higgins has opened up about the effects of his four-year winless run after triumphing at the World Open.
It marks his first ranking title since the 2020/21 Players Championship, and the poor run of results left him asking why he continued with the sport.
The four-time world champion beat Joe O’Connor 10-6 in the final for the 32nd ranking title of his career.
Speaking to WST TV after the World Open, he discussed ‘dark times’ as he struggled to bounce back from the dip in form.
Higgins said: “You go through some dark times, drives home and flights home and you’re talking to yourself asking if you need to do it, if you need to put yourself through it.
“As I’ve always said, the competitive nature within yourself that has got you to a certain level within the sport probably wouldn’t allow you to back down and drift away meekly.
“That’s what’s kept me driving on to try and taste the winning feeling again.”
The result will hopefully see him kick on, leaving behind the mire of the past four years.
He continued, saying “I felt great, I felt no pressure whatsoever and it was a big monkey off my back really because I’d lost in some pretty heartbreaking finals.
“To get that off my back I’m now thinking that I’ve proved to myself I can do it at this age alongside the likes of Ronnie (O’Sullivan) and Mark (Williams).
“They are two players I admire so much, so this was a big win for me.”
The win was a crucial one for Higgins, boosting him to eighth in world rankings and extending his stay in the top flight of snooker for the next two seasons.
He said he is looking forward to having more agency over the tournaments he plays in.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been in the right space to pick and choose events like some of the other boys, but I think now it will give me the scope to not play in as many tournaments,” he said.
“I know I’ve said before ‘what else would I do’ but with having that cushion I’m going to have where you can be pretty much be guaranteed then it’s good to be able pick and choose.”
Kim Jong-un caught building secret missile base disguised as GOLF COURSE with launch pads under greens in satellite pics
SCHEMING Kim Jong-un has constructed a new missile base disguised as a private golf course, satellite images reveal.
Top analysts told The Sun how the James Bond villain-esque golf course features sand traps, grass and putting greens – but they believe they are being used to conceal launch pads and missile caches.
The extent of the North Korean despot’s nuclear and missile programme has long been shrouded in mystery – with stations scattered across the hermit kingdom.
Satellite images reveal Kim‘s latest base, however, as he continues to ramp up his weapon development.
The pictures reveal what appears to be a private golf course near a recently demolished Kim family mansion in the Ryokpho district of southern Pyongyang.
But analysts from the Open Source Team at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies of the Middlebury Institute took a closer look.
Sam Lair, from the eagle-eyed team, said workers appeared to lay concrete across the valley site last summer to aid launch vehicles.
Wide roads and large concrete pads are telltale giveaways rocket man Kim wants to use the site to launch his missiles.
Grass was then used to cover the concrete base – and golf course-style features including sand traps added to not arouse suspicion.
Kim – whose father Kim Jong-il wildly claimed to have scored 11 holes in one in his first ever round of golf – has also had a building big enough to fit several intercontinental ballistic missile launchers constructed.
Research associate Sam said: “It seems the base has been disguised as a golf course by pouring concrete launch pads in fields and then covering them with turf or grass, manicured to have the appearance of a golf course.
“Moreover, sand traps have been added throughout the field with the launch pads.
“The large sections of concrete are one indication that it is a missile launch site.
“Another is the large, high-bay building nearby. The building is about 36 meters tall, large enough for long-range missile launchers to test their erector mechanisms indoors.
“Finally, the wide-radius turns that have been added to the roads around the facility would make it easier to drive a large transporter erector launcher.”
Analysts confirmed the base could be used to launch long-range missiles – though appears more operational at the moment.

Sam Lair
Sam added: “The facility seems to be complete, and has been since about last November, suggesting it could be used for testing anytime.”
Circular platforms have been installed at the base, which could serve as launch pads for missiles.
Kim has doubled down on his weapon development in recent years, with North Korea beginning studies into nuclear power in the 1950s.
The tyrant wants his nation to be a powerhouse on the nuclear and missile front, with ongoing efforts to elevate status and improve readiness.
North Korea shuts down 'capitalist city'
By Elizabeta Ranxburgaj, Foreign News Reporter
NORTH Korea has unexpectedly blocked tourists from visiting the nation just weeks after the dictatorship bizarrely opened up its borders to some Western visitors.
Kim Jong-un has attempted to attract international travellers with a “capitalistic city” after the secretive country shut itself off from the world in January 2020.
The dictatorship slowly started to open up to Chinese and Russian tourists from 2023 but it only began accepting some Western tourists last month.
Kim had set up an experimental “capitalist city” to welcome some visitors under a strict itinerary.
These tours were in the northerly city of Rason – chillingly sitting right on the Russian and Chinese borders.
Despite this, Pyongyang mysteriously suspended these trips for unclear reasons, according to tour operators.
Travel agency Young Pioneer Tours wrote online: “We have been advised by our partners… that tours to Rason are currently paused.”

Pyongyang has several nuclear and missile facilities that have not been revealed.
North Korea’s iron-fist regime is thought to have up to 20 undeclared ballistic missiles operating bases and support facilities.
But with shady Kim using tactics such as disguising them as golf courses there are likely to be more.
Sam added: “Before the recent construction and the installation of concrete, that area was farmland, so it was not a golf course previously.
“It does look like the estate nearby was demolished to prepare the area for the new missile site.
“The Kim family has residences all over the country, and many nearby since this site is not far from Pyongyang.
“One notable one would be the Samsok residence east of Pyongyang.”
Kim watched over North Korea’s latest rocket test last week as strategic cruise missiles were launched.
KCNA, the state news agency of North Korea, said the test was designed to warn “enemies, who are seriously violating the security environment of the (country) and fostering and escalating the confrontation environment”.
The launch off the west coast of the Korean peninsula was also pegged to demonstrate “readiness of its various nuke operation means”.
Kim, as quoted by KCNA, said: “What is guaranteed by powerful striking ability is the most perfect deterrence and defense capacity.”
Cult favourite car brand AXES its flagship motor after 36 years to make way for new electric SUVs & crossovers
A CULT favourite car brand has axed its flagship motor after 36 years to make way for new electric SUVs and crossovers.
The Japanese automaker’s US subsidiary said the termination “reflects market shifts from passenger cars to SUVs and crossovers” combined with the brand’s “transition to electrified and fully electric vehicles.”
Subaru of America is set to part ways with the Legacy nameplate this spring.
The Subaru Legacy was a spirited choice for a reasonable number of credits on Gran Turismo; for others, it’s the iconic car that Colin McRae drove to his first World Rally Championship win back in 1993.
However, in a bid to “reflect market shifts”, the 2026 Crosstrek Hybrid, featuring Subaru’s new hybrid system delivering a combined 194 horsepower, is slated for release.
They also gifted the 2026 Forester Hybrid with the same setup.
With this, fans will see introduction of the 2026 Forester Wilderness as the rugged, compact crossover SUV that seeks adventures just about everywhere.
Soon, the Subaru of America will welcome the premiere of the seventh-generation Outback model – presumably complete with the new Hybrid powertrain and also as a Wilderness representative.
AutoYa have even revealed what the 2026 Subaru Legacy may look like on its YouTube channel.
Modeled after their vision of the upcoming 2026 Subaru Outback (Hybrid and Wilderness), the 2026 Subaru Legacy has a slightly less extravagant front fascia – but the CGI resemblance is still apparent.
The host offers very little explanation about the quest to gift the departing Legacy one last chance of survival.
Instead, the channel’s resident pixel master’s work is front and center – the unofficial, hypothetical design project is shown both from inside and outside, in a quick comparison against the current model, and with loads of luxurious hues in the cockpit and for the body.
“Space, pace and a handsome face” was Subaru’s blueprint for the Legacy back in 1989.
And its most luxurious car to date was designed primarily for the US market, where it and the Outback have sold well ever since.
Consistently surfing the crest of owner-satisfaction surveys.
Subaru has been the 21st largest automaker by production globally since 2017.
Its cars are known for their use of a boxer engine in most vehicles over 1,500 cc.
The symmetrical all wheel drive arrived in 1972 and both became standard equipment for mid-size and smaller cars by 1996.
Subaru also provides turbocharged versions of their passenger cars, such as the WRX, Outback XT, Ascent.
Its target market is those who seek its signature engine and drive train, all-wheel drive and rough-road capabilities, or affordable sports car designs.
JP McManus supplements former Cheltenham Festival winner into Gold Cup line-up for £25,000
JP McMANUS has coughed up £25,000 to add the antepost Grand National favourite Inothewayurthinkin into the Cheltenham Gold Cup field.
He will form part of a maximum field of 10 for Friday’s big race, with Galopin Des Champs still the red-hot favourite at the final confirmation stage.
The Gavin Cromwell-trained Inothewayurthinkin landed a huge gamble when bolting up in the Kim Muir at the Cheltenham Festival last year.
He’s been a slow burner this season but ran well to finish fourth behind Gold Cup jolly Galopin Des Champs at the Dublin Racing Festival last time.
And with JP’s other top chaser, Fact To File, set to drop back in trip for the Ryanair Chase, he has called up his classy seven-year-old to play the role of super sub.
The horse is a general 7-1 shot for the Gold Cup and Cromwell said: “He seems to be very well in himself and he’s progressing nicely.
“Just like last season, he seems to be improving as the season goes on.
“He did a nice piece of work this week and I don’t think he will be far away in the Gold Cup.”
While Fact To File was taken out of the Gold Cup picture, McManus could have a second horse to take on Galopin Des Champs after Corbetts Cross was left in by Emmet Mullins.
Long-time second favourite Banbridge, who won the King George at Kempton on Boxing Day, remains in contention.
Ahoy Senor, The Real Whacker and Royale Pagaille will form the British Gold Cup challenge, but Venetia Williams has decided against running L’Homme Presse in the Blue Riband.

Nottingham Forest and Man City fans pay emotional tribute to Stuart Pearce after England legend’s health scare on flight
NOTTINGHAM FOREST and Man City fans sent an emotional message of support to Stuart Pearce after the England great’s health scare.
The Sun revealed on Friday that Pearce had suffered a medical emergency onboard a trans-Atlantic flight, forcing it to make an emergency landing in Canada.
During Saturday’s lunchtime kick off between Forest and City – two of Pearce’s former clubs – supporters stood for a round of applause in the third minute.
‘Get well Stuart’ was displayed on the big screen at the City Ground, and the TNT Sports commentators also paid tribute to the legendary defender.
Fans in the stands also displayed a banner showing support for the hero.
Pearce, 62, wore the number three for many of his former clubs and when playing for the Three Lions too.
The icon of the English game played some 460 times for Forest, winning to League Cups with the club.
While he also managed the historic club for 32 games between 2014 and 2015.
It was Manchester City where he ended his incredible career, playing just one season with the Cityzens and making 43 appearances.
He then took charge City in his first ever managerial role, seeing the club through 97 games between 2005 and 2007.
Forests official X account also tweeted “Psycho” with a love heart on the third minute, a tribute to Pearce’s nickname during his playing days.
Pearce, who represented England 78 times, was taken to hospital after his mid-air scare and is now recovering.
Staff on the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner checked him constantly and decided to change course to land at St John’s in Canada early on Monday.
Medics rushed on board and took the former Nottingham Forest defender to hospital.
He and his partner had been in the economy section of Flight VS156 that left the US at 8.45pm last Sunday.
A source said: “Stuart’s pains appeared to be getting worse as the flight continued.
“He was constantly shifting position in his seat to try and find some comfort.
“It was very clear the situation was serious. The crew and other passengers trained in first aid were marvellous.
“He received the best available care in the circumstances and was so grateful to everyone involved, and for the plane diverting to Canada.”
A Virgin Atlantic spokesperson said last night: “Due to an unwell customer on board, the VS156 on March 2 flying from Las Vegas to London Heathrow diverted to St John’s International Airport, Canada, and was met by the medical services.
“The safety and well-being of our customers and crew is always our number one priority and we apologise for the delay to our customers’ journey.”

Busty Christine McGuinness nearly spills out of tight leather mini dress after boxing event at the Royal Albert Hall
CHRISTINE McGuinness threatened to spill out of her tight leather mini dress at the Royal Albert Hall last night.
The glam star, 36, proved a knockout at the Unstoppable boxing event in the historic venue.
She was pictured beaming in the sexy pink and black outfit as she walked outside.
The historic boxing event was an all-female bill headlined by Natasha Jonas and Lauren Price MBE.
It followed another sizzling appearance last week in which she wowed in a sunshine yellow mini dress at the Metro Pride Awards.
Last month Christine made a saucy confession on Celebrity Hunted when she joked about being tied up and gagged.
The star-studded celeb series saw Christine, 36, team up with pop star best pal Duncan James, 46.
They were joined by a pair of soap sirens in the form of EastEnders legend Danielle Harold and Coronation Street‘s Kimberley Hart-Simpson.
Denise Welch and her husband Lincoln Townley also took part and so did Strictly Come Dancing star Kai Widdrington and Giovanni Pernice.
Speaking about the hunters who were tracking them, Duncan commented that a few of them were “really fit”.
To which Christine cheekily replied: “Yeah, they can tie my hands behind my back, gag me, do whatever they want, put me in the back of the car!”
Meanwhile, fans can breathe a sigh of relief as another civilian series of Hunted is officially on the way.
Applications for series eight are now open, with Channel 4 bosses looking for pairs to sign up.
The regular version has a cash prize of £100,000 up for grabs.
Applications for Hunted close on Saturday, 31 May 2025.
