I’ve been watching repeats of the ‘1% Club’ at the minute.
I’m absolutely terrible at it but find some of the questions really interesting.
It’s funny the way our brains work differently. I’m pretty good at quizzes and would modestly suggest that I’m reasonably intelligent generally.
But these IQ/ logic type questions, I’m just hopeless at. Whereas my daughter, who hasn’t got an ounce of common sense about her, is really good at them.

Or if they cut the waffle out between contestants and just got on with it instead of all the contrived suspense....The whole concept is fatally flawed as well, as the game can be over after 10 minutes if they accept an early offer.

What's your strategy?
Birthdays
Two minutes later, turns to partner in audience to ask when Aunty Mabel's birthday is....
Cue Stephen Mulhearn with ten minute discussion on who Aunty Mabel is and how she's impacted on her life...

My wife usually gets most of them right in this show. A guy I work with had a phone interview to go on the 1% club. He answered everything correctly and a few months later I asked him when he was going to be on he said he'd never had any reply. 18 months later and still not heard anythingI’ve been watching repeats of the ‘1% Club’ at the minute.

They won’t want clever dicks on there, but thick twats who the watching audience can laugh at and post about on football forums.My wife usually gets most of them right in this show.

Was listening to Lee Mack taking about it on a podcast, they actually do want and have quite a few clever dicks on there as they need enough to get down to the final questions. The nature of it means a lot of people go out earlier than they potentially could too.
