Instead of testing players on their general knowledge, 100 contestants try their luck at solving riddles within 30 seconds.

On , they are whittled down round by round as they are tasked with using their logic, reasoning skills, and common sense.

With every player that gets eliminated, £1,000 gets added to the prize pot as the players try to answer questions that certain percentages of the public would get right.

The players that remain at the end will fight to win a potentially huge jackpot prize and a chance at joining the prestigious one percent club.

Lee, 56, then moved on to the 70% question, which was a tricky numbers question.

He asked: “Here is a range of numbers from 1 to 61. What is the missing number?”;;

Below the question was a box full of bright numbers, which appeared to have a slightly jumbled look due to all the different rainbow colours.

As the players tried their best to spot the correct number, Lee joked: “If you find this stressful, think about the pressure I’m under.

“In a minute I’ve got to pretend my surprise that some of you got it wrong.”;;

The number that was missing was ’29,’ something that a whopping 17 players failed to guess.

In the end he was genuinely surprised as the audience, who also let out audible gasps.

He remarked: “Woah. Quite a lot that time, we lost 17 of you.”;;

The presenter again could not quite believe the players that were eliminated from the show as he repeated: “It’s 29. We lost 17 players there.”;;

As such, the jackpot prize rose from £12,000 to £29,000 in one fell swoop.
