The 1% Club

[barry1010]

Is this series much easier than the first?
I fell at the 1% question, still had my pass and my wife sailed through all of them.
I'm not enjoying this series as much, no real challenges

[elliemay1]

Haven't watched it yet but looking forward to seeing it

[barry1010]

Let me know how you get on, Ellie.

[elliemay1]

Will do , barry

[roopower]

I don't watch the programme but can't see how a programme can have no real challenges when you failed at the first 1% question.

[barry1010]

The 1% question is the final and hardest question

[elliemay1]

roopower, the 1% qn is the last one and the most difficult

[roopower]

Ah, OK, thanks for telling me. I might give the programme a look.

[Hopkirk]

Can you use your pass on the last question?

[Lie-in King]

I think the questions are only easy if your brain works the way it needs to. Mine instantly went into lockdown at the question with musical notation, then it suddenly clicked - it wasn't what I'd assumed it to be, which is what they play to.

Last season usually saw me caught out at some point, but I'm like Mrs Barry, sailed through the 3 episodes this series.

I was very pleased for the young lad, he came across as a very personable chap & I hope the party goes well :-)

[barry1010]

No you can't, Hopkirk :D

[barry1010]

Yes, I was really happy for him too

[elliemay1]

barry, I agree that the qns seem easier this time but might it be because we've got used to thinking more logically? BTW, I ran out of time on the 5% qn (vowels in months), I used my pass on another one and didn't solve the 1% one. Most of the others were really easy but I still enjoyed it as I love Lee Mack

[barry1010]

It's a perfect Saturday evening show, ellie. We don't normally watch mainstream tv on Saturdays, nothing appeals, so this is a welcome highlight.

The question that really made me laugh this week was 'what three letters appear in every day of the week?' It took a few seconds to drop and I had to laugh because it was so blooming obvious.

[elliemay1]

Yes, it was really obvious, barry, also the one where London was the only city.

[barry1010]

Yes! I was tutting at that one :D

[elliemay1]

It's surprising how many didn't read the qn properly and focused on the Olympics instead

[barry1010]

LIK, I agree with you, it's how your mind works and there's not much you can do about it.
Same with cryptic crosswords
