A game show question which only '10 percent' of Australians can answer has left social media users divided and some adamant the 'instructions make no sense'.
The 1% Club - an Australian game show based on a British show of the same name - doesn't quiz its contestants on the basis of general knowledge or knowledge in a specific category but requires people to simply use their 'logic and common sense'. Well, that sounds easy, right?
Wrong. Despite the emphasis on 'logic and common sense' and the game show being hosted by comedian Jim Jefferies, viewers aren't exactly having a barrel of laughs trying to work out one particular question that's gone viral for being so difficult.
Prepare to be well and truly humbled.
Advert
One of the 10 percent questions on an episode of the show was shared to TikTok and has ended up widespread on the platform due to people being so stumped by it.
It states: "Read this sentence carefully and then read it back. What is the missing word?"
The sentence is as following: "Was it a *** or a cat I saw?"
Yup. Me neither. Contestants were given 30 seconds to answer, but even if you stare at the question for 30 minutes the answer doesn't become any more apparent to most of us.
Two more players on the episode of the show were knocked out by the round with six remaining - very impressive to be honest.
And it's not taken long for people to flock to social media to weigh in on the seemingly 'impossible' question.
If you still haven't quite got it yet, the answer is 'car'. Why? Well, 'the sentence reads the same forwards and backwards'.
And the answer has left TikTokers divided.
One cleverclogs said: "Too easy for 10 percent."
"They gave it away when they said read it back," another commented.
A third boasted: "I got that one almost instantly."
However, the penny didn't quite drop for others.
A user admitted: "I was so confident with my dog answer shucks."
"Can someone explain this to me like I'm five? I've read the comments and it still makes no sense," a second said.
"Instructions make no sense," a third said.
And a fourth - who still doesn't quite get it - argued: "WHAT is the missing word lol it tells you in the question. I'd be devastated losing in this one."
Awks.
