Viewers of The 1% Club jeered that a question was 'too easy' after a vast majority of players opted to pass on answering in a recent episode.
Saturday night's instalment of the ITV quiz show, hosted by Lee Mack, saw 100 contestants attempt to win a huge cash prize.
The programme's questions were put to the public, with the percentage who got it right determining the difficulty of each round. Aptly, the final quiz is one that just 1 per cent of the public answered correctly.
During the episode, the 50% question seemed to throw quite a few of the players off.
It read: 'The nine-letter name of which insect is written below with its letters in alphabetical order?'
Black and yellow blocks were displayed on the screen with letters inside of them.

Two answered it incorrectly and but 11 contestants weren't sure either and used their passes.
The correct answer was 'Bumblebee'.
Lee commented: 'Now, 11 of you didn't know the answer to this and you used your pass.'
However, some viewers were surprised by how 'easy' they found the question and took to social media to share their thoughts.
One penned on X: '1 didn't know the answer? That was easy beesy #the1percentclub.'
'I got this right away Not sure how its 50%.'
'How did so many not get this, especially with such a visual clue.'
'Bumblebee !! the colours really helped.'
However, some viewers were surprised by how 'easy' they found the question and took to social media to share their thoughts
'I've only been watching from the bumblebee question but why are they so easy this week? #The1PercentClub.'
During the same episode fans gasped 'surely not!' as players were wiped out by the 'easiest ever' question on the ITV show.
Lee read the 30% question: 'What two well-known eight-letter words are made when the following are correctly paired up?'
The words, 'book', 'mill', 'wind', and 'note' were then listed.
After three contestants were knocked out upon answering incorrectly, Bradley then revealed the answer was, 'notebook and windmill'.

One posted on X: 'I am confused at why this incredibly simple question is the 30% question?'
'Very easy for 30% I've got them all right up to now. Seems to get easier every week.'

'You're telling me 70% of the people that took this survey got this wrong?'
'I don't understand how windmill/notebook can be a 30% question - it's too easy even for a 90% question.'
'That was something like a 90% question. It seemed out of place because it was so easy.'
'I thought I had it wrong because it was too easy.'
The 1% Club airs Saturdays on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
