Instead of testing players on general knowledge like other quizzes, the format takes on a different task.
100 contestants are whittled down through the rounds as they are tested on their logic, reasoning skills and common sense.
The 1% Club puzzles are meant to get harder throughout the rounds as they work towards getting to the last question.
This is where they could join the prestigious club which only one per cent of the country could answer the final question correctly.
They also have a £1,000 steak in the game as they are tasked with solving each riddle within a 30 second time limit.
On last weekend’s episode, Lee Mack asked the players a royal-themed question for the 50% question.
He asked: “Which of these pieces doesn’t belong here?”
There were then five rectangular pieces on display which would have made a complete image of the face of His Majesty, King Charles III.
However, there was one extra slide which would not have fitted onto the puzzle.
Lee jokingly remarked: “Well, someone’s ruined that stamp!” as the players visibly giggled.
He reminded them that they could use their one pass before it was revealed that 17 people were eliminated.
“Wow, we have lost a lot of people there,” noted the host. He added: “17 people.”
The correct answer was the fifth piece, slide ‘E’, which was the extra piece and the third slide showed The King’s nose mouth.
This comes after 15 players were eliminated over a ‘tricky’ common phrase question.
It was: “What well known phrase do you get from cracking this code?”
The players were then shown the code “BOTMESSAGETLE” and had 30 seconds to work it out.
