The last one
Which letter is next in this sequence?
SENTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT?

[barry1010]

Ignore the question mark at the end of the sequence, my mistake

[-SharonA-]

The legs one got me!!!

[barry1010]

I think it helps that I've got a stonking big TV - for my oldsters, of course.

that one was in the Guardian maths page a few years ago

Barry1010, I am with you. I have a large screen and wear tv specs but am irritated when the questions on screen are too small to be comfortably seen. I end up getting closer to the tv and squinting but by then have lost too much time. I generally do pretty well on this quiz but I guess the production team are not too interested in viewers who want to play along.

[barry1010]

I confess to pausing the TV to give me extra time. I hope that for the next series it is more viewer friendly, or maybe even an app to play along.
Some of the questions are ridiculously easy but I suppose what is obvious to me won't be for others, and many will find t by e ones I can't solve very easy.
I think that is the appeal of the show, no general knowledge or expertise required

[cashier]

Barry, what are t by e questions?

[cashier]

Last night's was the first time the prize was exactly £100,000 wasn't it? Though Ithought some people had taken their £1000, so it shouldn't have been.

[barry1010]

T by e questions is a typo, should be 'the'

[cashier]

Okay thanks. Thought I was being particularly dense.

[barry1010]

I've just played it back and nobody took the £1000, they all decided to play on

[sadielady]

Did think the questions were harder this week, didn't get the leg s one and couldn't make out the address's on the envelops, apart from those I didn't do to bad. Think the lady panicked with the 1% question, she seemed to decide straight away that she couldn't do it

[mallyh]

what was the leg question please

[barry1010]

It was a picture of legs, asking how many. You need to see the picture - you can watch the show on ITV hub

[barry1010]

It was identical to this but not as clear https://www.apost.com/en/blog/tricky-brainteaser-how-many-legs-do-you-see-in-the-picture/19037/
