Stevo985 Posted May 5, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 5, 2022 Anybody been watching "The 1% Club"? Decent new quiz show. I seem to be rather good at it so genuinely thinking of applying. Anyway basic format is there's 100 people. Each round they ask a question to everyone in slowly increasing levels of difficulty. First question 90% of the Uk could answer, second question 80%, then 70% etc etc If you get it wrong you're out and your money goes in the pot. Last man standing wins the pot if they get the last question right, which is the 1% question. Anyway, I watched the latest one yesterday. The first question was "Which of these words contains the most vowels? A. Vowel B. Consonant C. Letter" 25... TWENTY FIVE people got it wrong! 25% of the people they had on. I mean if you can't answer that why are you even bothering to go on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Posh Paws never recovered from the blow of losing his job on Swap Shop. His was an orphan having lost his parents to a meteor strike. He turned to drugs and died in 2007 in Michael Barrymore's swimming pool. The coroner ruled that he choked on vomit. It was not his own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy Lifeboats Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 We have a correctish answer. He is the only verified Nazi member to be buried on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. (Although in a Catholic cemetry) He is the only verified Nazi member knowingly buried in Israel. The only reason he is not the only Nazi Party member buried in Israel is that a German Community had a cemetery in Jerusalem. The British deported them as German Saboteurs during WW2. Its feasible but not confirmed that some of the burials could have been Nazi Party members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the first episode and assumed it was a sketch where Ant and Dec were pranking Lee Mack .. the questions were so easy and yet people were dropping like flies , I reckon if the question was "what is your name" , 30% of them would have got it wrong even the final Q where it was just one percent written backwards minus the last 2 letters , 2 out of the 3 finalists got it wrong ... maybe it was pressure , maybe sometimes you just don't' "see it " but even the fish in my tank got the answer inside a couple of seconds not watched it again .... i'll stick to university challenge and being humiliated at home by the kid from Singapore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got every question on it. That 1% question has been by far the easiest of the lot. I've only got one other out of 4 episodes. I do imagine that being there and having a time limit adds a load of pressure. Anyway, I've applied. Relatively easy questions with a jackpot of 90k plus? yes please 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and it's a different kind of knowledge. My mom is extremely clever when it comes to trivia. I've been telling her for years to go on quiz shows. She's brilliant at your traditional quiz show. But she's absolutely useless at The 1% club. That non verbal reasoning is just something she's never really done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy Lifeboats Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Following on from the Oscar Schindler question... I hadn't realised what happened to him after the war. He apparently wasn't a good businessman and went bankrupt. He lived on the charitable donations of those he saved and Israeli charities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might have to narrow this one down a little. They are coins. They are round. They are both worth more than SHA. My only serious guess is…….both remain legal tender despite having UK related themes that are no longer relevant. The UK is pictured as part of the EU. The queen is pictured as the head of state??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
