Question:

Use your general knowledge to determine which word is the odd one out.

A. Apollo
B. Artemis
C. Ares
D. Persephone
E. Hephaestus

Answer: Persephone - she is not a god(dess)

Apollo - Greek god of light
Artemis - Greek virgin goddess of the hunt and the moon
Ares - Greek god of war
Persephone - Daughter of Zeus and Demeter; made queen of the underworld by Pluto
Hephaestus - Greek god of fire and metalwork

It could be E because all the others are sons or daughters of Zeus according to my dictionary.

[snuggle1]

According to my knowledge Greek mythology, Persephone married Eros (Cupid). As such, she was not born a God/Goddess.

Question:

Use your general knowledge to determine which word is the odd one out.

A. Sandwich
B. Cardigan
C. Braille
D. Raglan
E. Balaclava

[helga22]

I would say it is:

C. Braille

It's the only word which has nothing to do with 'cover something'.

[purplesp8y]

I also think it's C Braille but because all the others are named after places while Braille is named after a person

[namkorb]

Could also be E ... all others named after inventor
ie Sandwich is named after the 4th Earl of Sandwich
ie Cardigan named after the 7th Earl of Cardigan
ie Raglan named after Lord Raglan
ie Braille named after Louis Braille

I think its Braille because all the rest are connected to the Crimea - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Brudenell,_7th_Earl_of_Cardigan  Also see Earl of Sandwich.
