I challenge palm is to hand as sole is to foot. I think the more appropriate response is "heel is to foot". Sole encompases the entire bottom of the foot, where as the palm does not encompass the entire bottom of the hand.

Considering palms have heels as well, I cannot agree with you there. There is no perfect correlation between them, but I think that sole comes closer.

I was thinking "arch" might be better. Looked it up, and it seems the technical term is "medial longitudinal arch," but as noted for a couple other clues, the analogy isn't exact.

Yes! I was looking for that word "arch", but I only knew it in my native language. I think it's the best fit for this analogy, although that might make it much trickier.

I somewhat dislike the assumption that Genesis is primarily known as the beginning of the Christian Bible. It is also the beginning of the Torah, so Deuteronomy, or the beginning of the Old Testament, so Malachi?

Honestly I just don't love the question, when some readers will be intimately and immediately familiar with the "right" "wrong" answer, and would suggest you reverse the question so that Revelation is the given, or change it otherwise as you see fit.

Good point. Changed it so that Revelation is revealed and you must guess Genesis.

Many of these are formulated the wrong way. To give one example: there's no particular relationship between Kolkata and Mumbai. The question should be: Kolkata is to Calcutta as Mumbai is to ____. Some are correct, for example: Pinatubo is to Luzon as Etna is to ____.

The correlation of Kolkata to Mumbai is that they are both the updated, corrected names of cities in India. Therefore, if the old colonial name for Kolkata is given, it stands to reason that they are looking for the same for Mumbai.

Yes, I'm not saying it's difficult to work out the answer. My point is that many of the questions don't actually say what they mean, including that one.

In the logical construct "A is to B as X is to Y", the relationship between A and B should be the same as the relationship between X and Y. In this case, as you say, the relationship is about post-colonial renaming of cities in India: Kolkata is the post-colonial name for Calcutta just as Mumbai is the post-colonial name for Bombay. But that's not what the question says. It says A is to X as B is to Y.

I got hung up for a while on the Charles/English one, because I thought the connection being made is that Charles is the King of England, and it wanted the name of the King of Spain, so I kept trying Felipe.

Couldn't the answer to the "Charles is to England as _____ is to Spain" be Felipe? The English/British monarch is Charles so it would make sense if Felipe was a possibility.

It said English/Spanish not England/Spain. Also, there hasn't been a King of England for more than 300 years.

The link between English and the UK and Spanish and Spain is more solid than some of the others on this list. And certainly more logical than Charles/Carlos being a connection.

From my side of the Atlantic, it wasn't obvious that casket meant coffin.

Pretty much every funeralcare service in the UK uses both terms, although often a distinction is made in that a coffin is the traditional six-sided shape or perhaps trapezoidal while a casket is a rectangle.

I had no idea what a caboose was, I have heard the word, but didn’t know the meaning. I think we use a different term this side of the pond. Not sure I would have got the answer anyway.

For the "Theseus is to Minotaur" analogy the corresponding one should be "Heracles to Hydra" should it not? Theseus is a Greek hero and Hercules is Roman. The Greek form would be HERAcles. Theseus also does not have a roman form making the analogy incorrect. I do understand that people know hercules more commonly so could you at least change the name that shows up as the correct answer to heracles?

IMO Felipe should be accepted as 'to Spanish what Charles is to English', since Charles is the English king and Felipe is the Spanish king.

As a 90s born non-american it did not even register to me that Spitz was referring to anything but the type of dog and I was utterly baffled by how that related to 7 let alone what the subsequent 8 could be. Only understood after my time ran out.
