Виноград виросте великий та солодкий, якщо поруч будуть рости правильні «сусіди»
Рослини, як люди, можуть контактувати між собою та приносити користь одне одне одному або ж заважати розвиватись та плодоносити. Особливу увагу треба приділяти рослинам та їх «сусідам», якщо вони відносяться до категорії ніжних, чутливих, тендітних. Бо саме їх шкідники та хвороби атакують в першу чергу. Отож, поговоримо про вибір рослин, які можуть рости поруч з […]The 1% Club player makes embarrassing blunder on question that had 11 people stumped – could you guess right?
A PLAYER on The 1% Club made an embarrassing blunder on a question that left several others stumped – could you guess correctly?
This 70% question eliminated 11 people altogether in the ITV game show.
Lee Mack had asked the remaining contestants: “Based on the results shown here, which of these sports teams is the best?”
The screen showed various final game scores for a selection of fictional teams.
Available options included A) Breezers, B) All Stars, C) Flames or D) Gems.
Once the 30 second time limit was up, it was revealed 11 people had chosen the wrong team.
The correct answer was Breezers, who had successfully won all of their games.
Lee then proceeded to turn his attention to eliminated player Zainab.
Having asked what she answered, the contestant replied: “I put All Stars.
“I didn’t even look at the numbers. I just thought, ‘Oh, All Stars. They just seem like the best name.'”
Lee responded: “Whoa, you didn’t just go with what you thought was the best name?”
As she nodded to confirm, Lee asked: “What did you think all the numbers were for?”
Zainab explained: “I don’t know – I don’t watch football or anything like that.”
To which Lee remarked: “They’re not real teams! And it’s not even football, it says sport.”
In another episode, a contestant branded herself “thick” after getting an easy picture question wrong.
The players had been asked: “Which of these Vincent van Gogh self-portraits has been altered?”
Players had just 30 seconds to examine three photos of the famous painter and pick out the correct answer.
The answer turned out to be C – as this featured the legendary Dutch artist wearing earbuds, which weren’t invented for another 100-years after his death in 1890.
The faked image also played on the fact Van Gogh infamously also cut off one of his ears during a furious row with artist Paul Gaugin.
After revealing four people got it wrong, Lee turned his attention to one of these players – Margaret.
The 1% Club's Most Difficult Questions
The 1% Club sees 100 contestants try and make it to the 1% question and be in with a chance to win a share of the jackpot. Here are just some of the show's most difficult teasers.
- Players had to compare and contrast three images of butterflies then explain which of the butterflies were exactly the same on both sides. Find the image and answer here.
- Players were shown groups of six symbols then asked which were in the same order whether you read them from left to right or right to left. Find the image and answer here.
- Players were asked how many different combinations were there of displaying four digits on one hand. Find the answer here.
- Peter had recently found his old diary that he’d written in secret code but he couldn’t remember how to decipher what he wrote. Players were asked to crack the code and find out what the bold word was. WH89 I GR1W UP I WA92 21 B8 A 5L1RI72. Find the image and answer here.
- Players were tasked with working out how many eyes they could see in an image, which was made up of letters, symbols and emojis. Find the image and the answer here.
- A 1% question was based on a grid of numbers going in ascending order from 1 to 49. Starting on 25, the middle square, SEEN took you to square 27. From there, NEW took you to 20. From there, which square would SEWN take you to? Find the image and the answer here.
- And finally, an easy one – What common food in bold has had its letters rearranged into alphabetical order? ABDER If you really don’t know you can find the answer here.
“Thick as two short planks”, Margaret quipped after the spotlight was put on her.
The contestant revealed she’d initially chosen C as her answer – only to change her mind.
When asked by Lee for her reasons behind changing, Margaret replied: “God alone knows, I don’t.”
The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
Iconic 80s rocker shows support for Irish rappers Kneecap as ‘good friend’ shares brew at band’s cafe during Dublin trip
PAUL Weller has doubled down on his support for Kneecap by sharing a cuppa with them in the capital.
Last month, the Modfather was one of 40 acts who signed an open letter opposing what they claim were efforts to censor the trio due to politically charged statements made during performances.
However, jetting into Dublin this week, the 67-year-old went one step further by sharing a cuppa with the Belfast rappers at Phibsborough’s Bang Bang Cafe last Thursday night.
An insider told The Irish Sun: “Paul was over in Dublin working on another project but wanted to meet up with Kneecap.
“He’s a good friend and Kneecap were able to thank Paul for all his support over a brew.”
The Belfast musicians were celebrating with Paul and Kneecap manager Daniel Lambert after their Irish language film scooped the top prize at the Celtic Media Awards.
Set in west Belfast, the film tells the story of how fate brought bandmembers, Mo Chara, DJ Provaí and Moglai Bap together to “change the sound of Irish music forever”.
The self-titled movie was awarded the Spirit of the Festival at the celebration of media throughout the Celtic nations and regions.
Kneecap look set to play one of the biggest dates in their career to 12,500 punters at London’s Wembley Arena next September 18.
Their popularity is continuing to grow as member Mo Chara faces an impending court case on June 18 after allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed organisation Hezbollah at a London gig.
In a statement posted on social media, Kneecap said: “We deny this ‘offence’ and will vehemently defend ourselves.”
Kneecap were cancelled from the TRNSMT concert lineup in Glasgow, which they were due to play in July, due to safety concerns from UK police according to the festival, despite having played the city numerous times previously.
Meanwhile, Glastonbury have confirmed band will not be cancelled from the festival and have put the group on a larger slot on the Saturday afternoon at West Holts Stage.
Paul Weller, Primal Scream, and DJ Annie Mac were among the big names to sign an open letter supporting the group last month which denounced the alleged attempts to suppress the band’s artistic expression.
It urged a stance against political interference in artistic freedom at festivals and gigs, emphasizing the stance that true censorship lies in ignoring global humanitarian crises, such as the situation in Gaza.
BAND BACKLASH
Kneecap was criticised after graphics saying “F*** Israel” were displayed at the Coachella festival in California.
Videos were then unearthed of a band member appearing to shout “Up Hamas” and “kill your local MP”.
The band issued an apology to the families of the murdered MPs Sir David Amess and Jo Cox.
The members said their “message has always been and remains — one of love, inclusion and hope”.
They have previously denied supporting Hezbollah or Hamas.
