The leaves many fans stumped on a regular basis – and now the popular quiz show has had our friends over in the States scratching their heads too.
Patton Oswalt, a comedian, serves as the American equivalent of . However, while the host is different the series follows the same format – a group of contestants are asked 15 questions in varying difficulty, based on how much of the public knew the correct answer.
The prize on offer for those who make it to the end is up to $100,000 (£79k) in cash.
For the 10% question, Oswalt asked the remaining contestants to work out which month comes next in s sequence shown on screen. The months given were April, August, December, February, followed by a blank space.
The host subsequently revealed that the question knocked out half of the remaining contestants in the game. However, it was soon revealed that the correct answer was in fact January.

This is because the months are in alphabetical order. While it left some fans stumped, others couldn’t believe how “easy” it was.
Posting to social media, one user asked: “How… how are there people saying anything other than January. Like… how??? This is insanely easy.”
“How is the us one so easy,” a second viewer commented, while a third added: “This would be 80% question in the UK.”
Back in the UK, over the festive season, viewers were stumped with a final question. The conundrum posed was: “In this sequence what number would logically come next.”
Don’t miss… [UPDATE] [REACTION]
The baffling sequence given was: “24846594_”. Each contestant in the studio was perplexed, each guessing differently. Host Lee Mack disclosed that none had cracked it, resulting in a lost opportunity to split £96,000.
Eventually, the host unveiled the logic behind the sequence, linking it directly to the question asked. He revealed: “The number sequence relates to the number of letters in the words in the question. “Next” has four letters.”
That means that “in” corresponds to two letters, “this” to four, “sequence” to eight, and so forth – hence the answer being 4.
