The hit ITV show sees pairs of contestants working together to win huge cash prizes with the aide of life lines.
Contestants Nik and Khajal, a married couple, who met during a speed dating event tackled a series of questions before taking on the exciting money ladder.
Ant and Dec asked Khajal: “In current UK money, a two pound coin is worth how many pence?
She hesitated a while before answering: “16” but of course that wasn’t the right answer.
Afterwards she joked: “That £2 question really got me!”
Ant and Dec jokingly agreed but told her not to worry as they had still won some lifelines.
But fans of the show were left fuming that she got it wrong and expressed their views on social media.
One exclaimed: “How many pence in £2. Limitless stupidity!”
Another said: “Here’s £2, go get yourselves a couple of consolation Freddos for losing.”
“I’m no naffing #brainofbritain – but am I the only one screaming at the simpletons on #limitlesswin pondering over the most basic of questions?!!!” said a third viewer.
Another baffled viewer exclaimed: “16 pence make up a £2 coin???”
Another added: “How many pence in a 2 pound coin…there on a hiding to nothing #LimitlessWin.”
“I’m watching Ant & Dec’s Limitless Win, and one of the contestants spent about 10 seconds trying to answer the question, “How many pence are there in a £2 coin?” and she said 16.
“Now I know it’s a high-pressure environment, and people can go blank when their nerves get the better of them, but this was a particularly dumb answer to give even so.”
