Do you have what it takes to be part of the exclusive 1% in the UK? The 1% Club, popularized by Lee Mack’s quiz show, presents challenging questions that weed out all but the sharpest minds.
The show’s contestants face an array of questions rated by the difficulty level determined from initial responses of 1,000 people. As they progress, the questions become solvable by only the top 1% of the populace.
On a recent episode, a contestant named Steve risked his winnings to answer the ultimate 1% question about finding two missing letters in a given scenario. With just 30 seconds to solve the riddle, Steve guessed “NE”, but the correct answer was revealed to be “IT”.

The TikTok video featuring this puzzling question garnered mixed reactions, with some viewers expressing the difficulty of the task and others proudly revealing their correct answers.
Highlighting the diverse reactions, one viewer stated, “Could not get it at all,” while another remarked, “Well done for those who got it. That was a tough one for me,” and a user commented, “Quite a difficult one for once.”
Yet, some astute solvers explained their reasoning, with one breaking down the solution by saying, “‘TExT = message, TOxIN = poison, E x IT = leave.’ Answer is ‘IT’.” Another elaborated, “if you replace the word ‘times’ with ‘X’, you will make that are a synonym of the word on the right. teXt = Message, toXin = Poison, and eXit = Leave.”
