It’s crucial to keep your mind sharp throughout the day – and one of the best ways to accomplish that is by testing yourself with a challenging brainteaser. But according to the Australian TV quiz show The 1% Club, only a tiny fraction of people worldwide can correctly solve one of their puzzles – are you among them?
They said: “Only 10% of people will be able to find this word.” The question states: “Read this sentence carefully and then read it back. What is the missing word? Was it a *** or a cat I saw?”.
Commenting on the video, which has been reshared on TikTok, one user said: “RAT! Easiest one of the night that! Rat rhymes with cat! Easy!” Another user added: “Instructions make no sense.”
A third user said: “I got it in like two seconds. It’s so easy.”
One more user said: “I was so confident with my dog answer, shucks.”
After giving players one minute and 11 seconds to solve the question, the host revealed the answer – car.
Meanwhile, another user said: “Read this sentence carefully AND THEN READ IT BACK. in other words, read it backwards.”
One more user added: “I said car but it was educated guess.”

Another user said: “Car, only took me a few seconds. It reads the same backwards as it does forwards.”
Presented by Lee Mack in the UK and Jim Jefferies in Australia, the game show The 1% Club asks players to tackle questions using logic and common sense.
At the beginning of every episode, 100 participants battle it out through a series of questions until the survivors face the ultimate challenge – one that just one per cent of the public can crack.
Discussing the programme on IMDb, one fan commented: “Absolutely love this programme. Great format, well presented and produced. Very inclusive, as everyone can give it a go! Fantastic entertainment! Loads of fun to play as a family at home. What about an ‘app’ version?!”
A second person remarked: “Lee Mack is brilliant as the host of this quiz show. His quick wit with the contestants is as entertaining as the programme itself.
“It would be good fun for the whole family to watch together and compete with each other. I used to do this with my wife but she is as thick as mince and rarely gets past question two!”.
