The 1% Club viewers left baffled as they spot 'error' and suggest alternative ... trends now
Viewers of The 1% Club were left baffled by a question that seemed to have more than one answer on Saturday.
The show tests 100 members of the public's intelligence, common sense and logic with questions that ascend in order of difficulty according to what proportion of the wider public can answer them - 90 per cent, 80 per cent, down to one per cent.
This week, what appeared at first to be a straightforward question from the 30 per cent section, got some fans of the show worked up.
It read: 'Amrit and his grandad share the same birthday. Their birthday balloons arrive muddled up. Amrit's grandad is three times older than him. How old is Amrit?'
Four gold balloons were on display beneath the question shaped in the numbers six, eight, seven and two.

It was anticipated the answer would be that Amrit is 26 years old, making his grandfather 78.
However, one person commented on the show's official Instagram page, claiming: 'My other half is adamant that his answer of 29 is also right.'
They added: 'There's no string on those balloons, therefore you could turn the 6 upside down. 3x29=87 What do you reckon? Was he still in, or was he out of the game?'
Viewers also took to Twitter to offer their thoughts, with one person writing: 'Could've been 2 answers which is odd...flip the 6 round to a 9 and could've been 29 and 87.'
Someone else shared: 'It could also be 29 ie one third of 87? If I had put that in the studio I would expect to Appeal!!! Previous questions have used balloons to switch 6 and 9s!!!'
While another person posted: 'Hmm they should've drawn strings on the bottoms of the balloons if they wanted to avoid people turning the 6 upside down for 29 and 87.'
Meanwhile The 1% Club viewers also criticised the show recently for its 'easy' final question during a February episode.
