| Erland Sommarskog <esquel@sommarskog.se>: Jun 11 10:07PM +0200 It's been a while, but it is time for one of my occasional quizzes. This time I'm going for the "odd one out" format. Below are twelve questions, each listing a topic/theme and five items. Of these, four have something in comeon that the fifth has not. Your task is to spot the odd one. When you give an answer, you can include a motivation with your answer, but you don't have to. However, if you do not include a motivation, your answer *must* agree with what I have mind. If you give a motivation that is correct and fits with the topic/ theme, I may award you a point. If you give the correct answer with a motivation that is completely wrong - don't worry, you will get a point anyway. As a tip: it is a rather the case the four have something more significant in common which the fifth is lacking than the other way round. Small warning: this one may be more difficult that my previous odd-one-out, but don't be shy to make guesses. Post your questions to the newsgroup. I plan to score this on Wed 16th, in the evening my time, and I will accept answers until I post the results posting. Have fun! 1: Rivers: Amazon, Congo, Danube, Hudson, Tagus. 2. Names: Giovanni, Hans, Ivan, James, João. 3: Astronomy: Ceres, Io, Ganymede, Phobos, Titan, 4: Sports: Sue Bird, Tonya Harding, Mikaela Shiffrin, Hope Solo, Serena Williams. 5: Coastal city climate: Agadir (Morocco), Dubai (UAE), Lima (Perù), Singapore (Singapore), Walvis Bay (Namibia). 6. Wars of the Roses: Barnet, Nottingham, Tekwesbury, Towton, Wakefield. 7: Medecine: Chickenpox, Covid-19, Ebola, Measels, Winter vomiting bug 8: Literature: Honoré de Balzac, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Henrik Ibsen, Bernard Shaw, Leo Tolstoy 9: Apostles: Andrew, John, Paul, Peter, Thomas. 10: Symbols: Refer to https://www.sommarskog.se/temp/quiz10.pdf and select a letter a, b, c, d or e. 11: Food: Eggplant, Falafel, Kabanos, Quorn, Tofu 12: Music: Keith Emerson, Yngwie Malmsteen, Pat Metheny, Jimmy Page, Django Reinhardt. |
