Below are The 1% Club questions and answers for Australia Season 3 for 2025. Like the UK and US versions of the popular game show, this AUS variant on Seven Network (and 7plus) poses questions that get harder and harder over the course of the episode. But since these brain-teasers are based on common sense and logic, contestants can figure out the solution without needing to know that much trivia. Comedian Jim Jefferies returns as the host for the third season. Here’s a list of every question and answer for the 2025 Australian episodes of The 1% Club.
List of The 1% Club (AUS) questions and answers for 2025
The following is a breakdown of The 1% Club questions and answers for each episode in AUS Season 3. They are placed in chronological order with the answers hidden (click on the arrows below each question to reveal the solution). You can also use the quick list below to advance to the exact episode you want the answers for. We’ll update this guide as more episodes in the third season are released.
(Note: It’s unclear why Episode 2 is the first episode of the season, but it’s officially labelled as S03E02 on 7plus so that’s what we’re going with. The same goes for Episode 4, which aired second.)

Answer to 40% Question
