The show is a unique format that doesn't test players on their general knowledge like other shows.
Instead, it tests them on their logic, reasoning skills and common sense.
100 players are whittled down, question by question, as they are tasked with solving different puzzles.
They aim to get to the last round where only one percent of the public could answer the final question correctly.
The 1% Club
However, a whopping 27 players were knocked out with a yoga question that 70% of the population would have got right.
Host Lee Mack asked: "Which yoga position comes next in this sequence?
The contestants were then given a multiple choice option - A, B or C.
After 30 seconds were up, Lee explained that the answer was C.

He added: "Because if you follow the sequence the figure has one limb on the floor, then two limbs then three, so to follow on the next move has to have four limbs on the floor."
Lee then asked Sarah, who had been eliminated: "What were you thinking?"

Sarah replied: "I just went for the one that looked the comfiest really."
She then added that she was an assistant psychologist and had been analysing Lee the whole time.
"Have you? What have you discovered?" asked Lee.
"Very small IQ" she quipped barely able to contain her laughter.

Lee quipped back: "Yeah, not me that's out after round 3 though is it?" as the crowd applauded his quick wit.
Moments later, Lee moved onto another eliminated contestant called Wain, who was a professional singer.
When Lee found out he was a George Michael tribute act, he persuaded Wain to give the audience a blast of his voice.
After some joking around Wain sang beautifully and Lee told him it was very good.
Before he added: "I'm not going to lie Wain, when I saw you and heard you talk. that is not what I was expecting to come out of your mouth."
"I get that a lot" replied Wain as Lee explained he was very impressed.
Earlier in the show, 14 players were knocked out in the first round as they attempted to answer a simple question.
Lee asked the question: "Oliver, Emily and Rosie count from one to twenty taking it in turns to say the numbers.
"Oliver says 1, Emily says 2, Rosie says 3 and so on. Who will say number 20?"
He then gave the contestants 30 seconds before he revealed the answer.
Which was Emily - As there are three of them, they will count to number 18 in order finishing with Rosie.

Then Oliver will say 19 and Emily 20.
