By the final question, only three remained – Isabella, Maccisha and Oliver – and they had to face a question only a reported 1% of the UK would be able to answer.
The question was: “What is the lowest number that replaces the question mark in this sequence?”
The three contestants then were shown:
1+2 = one
2+2 = four
3+2 = three

TRICKY ONE
The 1% Club player wins £96k jackpot – but would you have known the answer?
With time running against them, the three remaining players had to tell Lee out loud what their answer is – with school teacher Maccisha guessing correctly that the answer was fifteen.
The reason for this, as explained by Lee, is that the first digit in the sum represents the number of consonants and the second digit represents the number of vowels.
Therefore, fifteen is the lowest number that has four consonants and three vowels.
Maccisha also made history on the show as the first contestant ever to walk away with the full £100,000 prize pot.
SEANN’S SWIPE
As Lee revealed she had taken home the win, Maccisha clapped her hand over her mouth in shock as the studio turned gold in celebration.
Fans were delighted at Maccisha’s efforts, congratulating her on cracking the incredibly difficult question.
