Man is asked ‘one of hardest questions ever’ on 1% Club and gets it spot on

It's a tall order to get the right answer in 30 seconds

A man who ended up winning the Australian version of The 1% Club had to get through a really difficult question to get his hands on the final prize.

If you're not familiar with the show, 100 contestants have to answer questions that a progressively smaller amount of people were able to get right and for everyone eliminated another grand is added to the prize pot.

Get to the end and you can walk away with a nifty 10k of your currency (so you should play the UK version because our money is worth more) or you can risk it all for your share of the accumulated prize pot by answering their '1 percent question' that almost nobody got right.

What you'll get depends on how many players have been eliminated, whether anyone took their money and quit the game (something you can do if you reach a certain point) and how many final contestants there were who get the last question right.

Of course, the dream has got to be ending up as the last player standing so you can get all of the money for yourself.

That's just what Aussie bloke Michael managed to do when he was asked what viewers thought was an incredibly hard question.

Could you do it in just 30 seconds?

The question goes: "If January equals 717, March equals 5315 and June equals 4624, then what does August equal?"

Start that 30 second timer and see if you can get the right answer... tick, tick, tick.

When Michael's time was up he'd been writing right until the final moment and admitted that he'd changed his answer while trying to figure out the final question.

With AUS$100,000 (£50,000) on the line he was clearly hoping he'd figured out the right answer and cleared the final question.

The answer was revealed to be '6848', which is precisely what Michael had given as his answer and his success was greeted with widespread applause.

If you played along properly reading this and got the correct answer, then you ought to feel good about yourself.

However, if you're wondering how on Earth you get the number 6848 from August then remember that The 1% Club questions almost always function like riddles where the clue is in how you're asked.

The answer is 6848 because there are six letters in the word August and it's the eighth month of the year, multiply them together and you get 48.

Put all the numbers in the equation together and you get 6848, your answer, which is also how you get 717 from January, 5315 from March and 4624 from June.
