| Great teaser! For number 3 I thought prince was the odd one out because it isn't on a deck of cards. |

| 4 #3 I thought queen was the odd 1 because out of prince, queen, and king the queen is the only girl. But I really liked this teaser NEWayz!

| The answer can also be hamster because the other three words can be linked to the word 'fight' ie dogfight, catfight & swordfight. |

| great one =) i also thought prince was out because it isn't involved in the card games. what is dogfish? i had better understanding with ~fight |

Aug 31, 2003
| this is a fun teaser. i like it. i didnt know there was such a thing as a dog fish though. for #3 i thought it was prince because there are no princes in a deck of cards, but the bed thing works too. lol. ) |

| crystalstar... i found this on google: http://new-brunswick.net/new-brunswick/sharks/species/spinydogfish.html and about prince not being a chess piece... niether is double! Thanks for commenting!!! |

Sep 01, 2004
| You guys seem to be missing something. "Double" is not part of a chess game or deck of cards, but it is a bed size. |

| I liked this one.
I thought
1-Hazel because only one without two letters the same
2 Hamster--only two syllable word
 |
rac76
Sep 02, 2005
| this was interesting. I got #2 and #3 and partial of #1 right. I how did it was just by guessing. I thought of cat/dog because of they are both 3 letter words & are the most popluar pets.  |
Bastet  
Sep 02, 2005
| I got the right answers immediately, but for the wrong reasons for two of the questions. I eliminated hamster because it was the only one that wasn't a carnivore and prince because it was the only one that wasn't in a suit of cards.
This was fun!  |
Magicbanker
Sep 02, 2005
| I think folks are eliminating the first one and then trying to eliminate the second from the remaining three. The second elimination comes from the whole group of four items, not just the remaining three. So for the posting immediately above the answers don't make sense because while a hamster is not a carnivore, neither is a sword. And while the prince is not in a deck of cards, neither is a double.
The only alternative that I've seen that makes sense is the one that says hamster because it's two syllables and hazel because all the other words have a duplicate letter. |

Swordoffury1392   
Sep 02, 2005
| Overall the teaser was good, but I think that in the third one there is more than one answer. It could be prince because of beds and cards or queen because of the fact that queens are female.  |

My reason for 'willow' was cus it cant b consumed. Was thinkin of water for aqua.  |

| Either I'm getting 2 good at these word games or this was wayyyy too easy !!! Plus there was more than one reason for the right answer. For #1, you elimate AQUA because its not a girls name and you can eliminate WILLOW because its not a food item. . I still enjoyed playing it though Have a nice holiday weekend !!!  |

| Yes, very nice teaser, I liked the concept of finding two wrong words instead of just one. I was able to get the first one right and half of the next two, but I just couldn't make the connection with the beds and the fish; then I read the answer and I was like "Why didn't I think of that?"  |

shawneeo   
Sep 02, 2006
| Good one! It was much harder than many people thought, especially the "four years old" person, who I bet didnt even do all three. MagicBanker hit it right, people thought that for many there was more than one answer becoz they were taking one out of four, then taking one out of three words, and what you have to do is take one out of four, then put it back and take another one out of those four, makes a big diff. And, I got no. three wrong becoz I was thinking that Queen and Prince were bands or musicians, which at least no one else noticed, but "double" isnt either, but I had already taken double out! So, thanks MagicBanker for clearing that up. I think though there should be a note about that in the instructions, becoz so many people didn't understand that.
Thanks, really good. Oh, btw: the "Tulip" as girl's name and "Hamster" has two syllables are correct, so there are more than one right answer for some of them.  |

Pizzazz2u   
Sep 02, 2006
| The puzzle is harder than meets the eye. Although, I enjoyed this one...and that is does get the juices going in the morning, some of the answers could be knocked out for a different one. Because of different reasoning abilities, one could reason a different answer for each one. I still enjoyed the magnificent teaser, but some parameters should be set. WTG!  |

| I like the default answers better than mine. I chose Aqua out, because it could not be made into a fruit spread. Queen and double out becase neither of them can become king. Weird? |

Sep 02, 2006
| Didn't get them all but it was a great puzzle. I like the outcome. Never thought about the swordfish or the bed sizes. Guess I only got 1. It did enjoy it though and found it to be a different sort of puzzle. |
irar1792   
Sep 02, 2006
| I picked number cherry for #1 instead of willow because it is the only object of the four that produces fruit that is good for human consumption. The others i got right partly by guessing: i ruled out sword in #2 and double in #3 for the right reason, but guessed on prince and hamster and got them right.
As for the deck of cards, could it be that people are mistaking a "Double" for a deuce? |
heyman 
Sep 02, 2006
| I agree with Luvupurple. I chose Queen as the odd one because it was the only one who not male. In this case, we are both right. |

| This was new for me. Only one I thought sword was a fish. but, I will enjoy more of these. Thanks.  |

| Didn't care for this because there are too many answers, so it really doesn't represent that much of a challenge, IMHO.
It's ok if the instructions were to say, "there's more than one answer for each."
Even then, I was able to think of several different answers for each right away.
But that's just my opinion. |

| Very clever and also fun! I got some but not all. Well I got two right, and half of the other two.
The person above me a couple of lines is correct! Tulip is a girls name. Many many years ago there used to be a show with a girl on it named Tulip! You young ones would not remember though |
thedavincigame  
Sep 04, 2012
| I got all the answers, but for different reasons.
Hamster is not a kind of fight (cat fight, sword fight, dog fight)
Prince isn't something you'd hear in a game of Bridge (Queen and King are cards and you can Double if you're confident the other team won't make it)
Great puzzle! |
HABS2933   
Sep 04, 2012
| In theory it was a good concept, Though I would agree with the others who said there are too many possible answers. You can eliminate any word in any of the questions for one reason or another. |

| I agree that there were many ways to eliminate. What happened to Auntie Sis and Wordmama? And GW, you have been pretty hidden also.  |

iggy39   
Sep 04, 2012
| i agree tulip is a name and I didn't know hamster was a fish either. It was hard, some were easy (2) and the other two were hard but I guess that is because I got 2 out of 2.  |
