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.
