Tipping Point viewers were left scratching their heads on Tuesday afternoon as contestant Julia decided to pass on an easy general knowledge question.
Host Ben Shephard welcomed four contestants to the famous ITV studio as they battled it out to win the highly sought-after cash prizes.
Julia, Steven, Beth, and Dave answered a series of questions to win turns on an arcade-style machine.
Dropping tokens down a choice of four chutes, they each hoped to knock piles of the counters off a moving shelf – the more they collected, the greater the prize fund.
Contestant Julia got viewers talking during the second round of the competition after she stumbled on an easy geography question.

However, things didn’t go to plan for Steven and he didn’t manage to win the jackpot coin.
Steven was offered the chance to trade the money he’d previously won on the show for some extra counters but decided to play it safe and left the studio with £2,750 in his pocket.
He told Ben that he was going to use his winnings towards a deposit for a house.
