Braving the Elements
These brain teasers rely on your ability to recognize groups of common attributes. For each of these puzzles you'll need to figure out why the words or letters are grouped as they are. Sometimes you will be asked to pick the odd-one-out or to place a new word into the correct group.
Which element in Group B can be added to Group A? Why?
Group A: Iridium, Vanadium, Xenon, Lanthanum, Carbon, Dysprosium
Group B: Radon, Barium, Uranium, Platinum, Manganese, Phosphorus
Answer
The first letter of each element in Group A is a Roman numeral. Thus, Manganese can be added to Group A.

| I understand that.....A great teaser is one that you leanr something new on. I learned that M is a Roman Numeral.
I just Manganese because it wasn't Radioactive....So I get 1/2 credit. |
