Which One Doesn't Belong #2

wow I have never heard of that. When was it called that, been trying to find it for 15 minutes now, but all that I can find is that it is the former name and never when it was dropped, no matter how I phrase it.

Same criteria I used.

Yes, over 300 sonnets and madrigals. But you could say that of the 4 writers he is the only one known more for poetry than prose, so it still works.

To people who recognize all the names in that question, it is very obvious that three people are from the same group and one isn't. You could probably come up with alternative "odd man out" scenarios for each of these questions, but the most obvious and generally recognized one should reign.

I got all but the Japanese one.

Nobody ever taught them to me, so I didn't know any of them. That made Ed Sheeran the only one I knew, which I used as my criterium. And it worked :)

really..? It is quite obvious... besides, kayak is the only word with a Y in it, so why didnt you choose that one? All the others have in common that they dont have y's

Did you base your answers for all the other question on the amount of letters they have? That would ve been hard, since for most question it differs quite a lot, or did you just choose the longest answer each time?

Number of letters isnt a great criterium and not logical at all.

What's your point?

not all cities are capitals, I curious where your confusion lies. That you think all cities are capitals, or that just because it isnt a capital it cant be a city either, or something completely different I cant come up with atm.

I think he's pointing out that he's surprised that Minneapolis isn't the capital of Minnesota. It does seem like the logical choice.

RAdio Detection And Ranging. I agree that a different word should be used that is not an acronym. I say that mainly because I missed that one and it was pretty obvious what quiz master was going for. Face palm on my part. I answered quickly and just assumed it was Radar because it was an acronym.

Finally an argument that actually makes sense! You are right, though I didnt even look at radar like that, though officially an acronym it has allways been used as a word, and when people say it they dont think of each individal letter and the meaning behind it in their head like with most other acronyms.

Laser is another one of those words people dont see as an acronym, though in that case it is even deeper, because if you say it for radar (or sonar) people say ow yeah, if you say the abreviation for laser, people say, (ow) really?? and might not even believe you. (since in many cases people make acronyms for things that never originally were acronyms)

This argument is not very strong. We are looking for some aspect that three share and that the odd one out does not share. "Not being an acronym" is not a very strong connection between the other three words. If you had to choose between radar, scuba, laser, and measles then it makes sense to consider the acronym aspect. In this case, however, you're doing the quiz backwards. For instance: Ed Sheeran, Adele, Drake, and Barrack Obama. Would you say it's a legitimate argument that Ed Sheeran is the odd one out because he's got red hair? Of course not.

None of the categories are wrong. Maybe you don't understand how to take the quiz. You have to choose the one option in the category that does not belong based on an unstated criterion. All of the cities listed in question 2 are US cities, yes, but three of them are also capitals of US states. The one that is not a state capital is the correct answer.

He doesnt "need to fix" anything...you need to read and look at the quiz again... They are all cities and one of them doesnt belong. your task is to figure out which (after spotting why).

If I showed you, (in real life) 4 animals and asked which was the odd one out, let's say 3 mammals and 1 bird, you would chose the bird right? and not say there is something wrong they are áll animals.

Please think about what you are saying before you are using such strong language like WRONG and FIX IT Even if you did have a comment that was true and made sense and there was an error, no need to be so harsh and attacking/demanding. you are not the king and he is not your subject or slave.

(this last part is directed at more people, the YOU NEED TO FIX THIS, sort of gets on my nerves, I guess it is by people used to getting what they want and getting it instantly. He doesnt need to do anything, you can inform him of errors, but he owes you nothing)

and radar does?!?..

Me too! And ruled radar out as it is an abbreviation.

This logic is flawed. The quiz intends that you see that three of the items share some unique characteristic. But using the acronym origin is looking at a unique characteristic of just one item. I could say that Cujo is the odd one out because it's the only one with a rabid dog. This is the same logic that you are using for the acronym argument. That doesn't make sense for this type of quiz.

But... he's not going to make a quiz that becomes outdated as people die, right?

Also Eddie Van Halen was alive when the quiz was made in 2019
