Which One Doesn't Belong #1

And yet...

For the "Rivers" question, the correct response is Thames, but the explanation still mentions the Seine.

could you mention what you are using to separate the odd one out? I used different ways of separating them, like answering saving private ryan because the others aren't war movies.

…You mean *before* the quiz ends and gives you the answers???

A couple of these can be answered with different choices and still be correct, the Nile is the only river that flows North on the list also, Neon is the only Noble gas of the four choices.

Should be Best In Show, not Best Of Show.

The new version of the question looks good, but the reason given still refers to the Seine.

I also picked the Nile for that reason (the rest run east-west). But makes sense the other way, too!

the nile is the only one that passes through several countries -- I learned this on jetpunk.

I picked Amazon because it's in the western hemisphere.

Chiming in with others who also picked The Nile as running south to north. Also hadn't noted as obmed mentioned it is the only one that passes through several countries.

the thames is in both hemispheres...

Also i used 'if the river had a civilization'. So, the nile had egypt, the yangtze had china, and the amazon had lots of amazonian tribes and even some smaller scale cities.

'The only one that is ...' doesn't really make sense in an odd-one-out quiz - I expect you could find loads of alternative answers for each of the questions if you can say 'the only one that is ...'

My brain went in a completely different direction, because Japan is the only one that is an island nation.

Horse is the only one you can ride. Japan is the only island country. Neon is the only element humans don't need. Yangtze is the only river that has no major tributaries. The Colossus of Rhodes is the only structure that has been completely destructed.

I think you are nitpicking just a bit. I wasn't going into irrelevant details like Indiana Jones' clothing or a starting letter. My point was these aren't about right and wrong answers but rather about the point on wiev...

Yeah, it's more about finding the common element and then knowing which one doesn't comply

That could be edited to "not a gas at room temperature."

Hehe, something about that line rings a slight bell. It atleast triggers me to read it in a certain voice and a certain way

You got that right, too!

Picked Ben Franklin because he was the only one not shot while in office. Forgot that he was never in office.

I went for that logic as well.

Neon is the only noble gas?

And the only inert element among the choices.

And the only ine with 4 letters..

Ducks are pretty common farm animals, actually. Not as common as the others, but not exactly rare.

Yea they would definitely be in my top 5 when you d ask me for farm animals. (Something like cow, sheep, pig, horse duck. Then goat then i d have to think hard and will come up with exotic stuff like alpaca and ostrich)

Wasn't Marie Antoinette from Austria?

And Catherine of Aragon was from Spain.

Anyone else feel like Pluto was in your face to your planetary memories?

Why is there a picture of a swan at the top of the quiz?

Great quiz idea! - Thank you.

Sleepless in Seattle didn't win an OSCAR

I picked Reagan because I believed (incorrectly) that he was the only one not featured on any US currency. Lincoln, Franklin and Roosevelt are all on some form of US currency. It seems that the Roosevelt on the dime is Franklin, not Theodore Roosevelt. Bah, humbug. Update: All four have been on currency. Curses, foiled again.

That would be a precedent

There's an even easier solution to the queens question: Marie Antoinette was the queen of France, not England.

Regarding the Geography question -- 3 of the 4 are landlocked, so the answer could have been Florida. Change Manitoba to British Columbia or Nova Scotia?

I thought the criteria was landlocked also, until I looked at a map and saw Manitoba borders Hudson Bay.

same, but my guess was a miss!

Great quiz- you might want to switch "Titanic" for some other film - because there are three films nominated for Best Picture in your group leaving "Sleepless" out... I realize that 2 won and 1 was only nominated, but there's still three films nominated for Best Picture and one not... since Tom Hanks is your tie together, perhaps a non-nominated for Best Picture film that doesn't star Tom Hanks?

I picked Calcium because Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Neon all appear on the same row of the periodic table; not for the reason cited.

I got them all. And for the right reasons and not dumb luck.

On 16, I chose Gollum since he was the only antagonist. :

I picked the Amazon because it's the only one that doesn't have a major world city at its mouth

awful quiz, you heard it here from the best folks

agreed

Got all but the bottom two. Those were the only two i guessed. Though the astronomy one with slightly more insight than the history. I just couldnt reme ber what ceres was, so had to base my guess on the features/ facts if the other 3
