The 1% Club fans confused by 'trick question' as they say answer is 'wrong' - can you answer it?
by Katy Hallam, https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/authors/katy-hallam/, Jasmine Allday · Birmingham LiveThe 1% Club's latest episode had viewers furrowing their brows in bewilderment, particularly over a puzzling question that ignited discussions across social media. Lee Mack, the ITV show's host, challenged the contestants with a teaser: "Which of these groups of six symbols are in the same order whether you read them from left to right or from right to left? " offering five potential answers.
But as the audience tuned in, many were adamant that the answer announced as correct, 'C', was erroneous, arguing fervently that 'A' was the actual solution. Twitter became the platform for their confusion and dissent.
One perplexed viewer tweeted: "Baffled! I didn't understand this one at all," while another sought clarity, posting: "Can someone please explain how it's C? " A third insisted: "I said A and I still think A. I don't understand how it's not."

The debate continued with another tweet stating: "This is a trick question, A or C could be correct depending on the definition of right to left used," and an attempt to clarify came from a fan explaining: "Because it's how you read it. I thought it was A, too, but it starts as a Closed bracket, whereas C starts the same as the end. I hope that explains it."
Puzzle fans dived into a heated discussion, with one clarifying: "It's not about being mirrored; it's about what symbol is what. So A would be (from L-R): left bracket, right bracket, left bracket etc, but R-L it would be; right bracket, left bracket etc. which is difference. Whereas C is left arrow-right arrow-right arrow etc from both ends! "
In the latest episode, four lucky contestants walked away splitting £97,000 after nailing the final question, leaving host Lee ecstatic for the winning group, as only two contestants missed out on the grand prize by giving wrong answers, reports the Mirror.
