The British game show "The 1% Club" is getting an American version for Fox and Amazon Prime Video. The first episode is up on Prime ahead of the June 3rd Fox premiere.
This game show is a new animal, in that the questions are not trivia based, but rather they are riddles and IQ-test-style questions. I think this show will be very popular among members of this board.

Casinos are not your friends, they want your money. But so does Disneyland.
And there is no chance in hell that you will go to Disneyland and come back with more money than you went with.

Don't remind me; I missed the second question on the first episode. I didn't quite understand what they meant by "logically speaking."
The only other question I missed was the 1% question, although...
The question did not say that the password had to be a word, so any 7-letter palindrome where the first four letters are a permutation of A, R, O, T should be accepted as a correct answer
For those of you who don't know how it works, here's the quick version: a "random" group of people were asked questions, and somehow based on that, the producers calculated what percentage of all Americans would get the correct answer. 100 contestants were asked a question that 90% got right, with incorrect answers eliminating players as the questions have smaller and smaller percentages until they come to the final question, which only 1% got right.

I've watched the British version. My take-away is that the polled Brits didn't 'get it' either.Quote: ThatDonGuyDon't remind me; I missed the second question on the first episode. I didn't quite understand what they meant by "logically speaking."

I see that Patton Oswald is the host of the show. I like him as a comedian but you will have to let me know how he is a the host of the show.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.
