Braingle: 'Odd Two Out Too' Brain Teaser

Odd Two Out Too

Trivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.

Puzzle ID:	#15293
Fun:	(3.29)
Difficulty:	(1.66)
Category:	Trivia
Submitted By:	just_moi
Corrected By:	4demo

In this teaser, you have to find the odd ones out in the groups of words. BUT WAIT! There's a catch. Each group of words has TWO words which do not belong. Can you find them both?

EXAMPLE:

Lily - Jane - Tulip - Rose

Jane does not belong as it's the only one which is not a flower.

Tulip also does not belong because it's the only one which is not a girl's name.

You're on your own for the rest!

1. Dodge - Ford - Lincoln - Hoover

2. King - Earl - Knight - Bishop

3. Yellow - Green - Dead - Black

Answer

1. Hoover does not belong as it's the only one which is not a car manufacturer. Dodge does not belong as it's the only one which is not the last name of a President of USA.

2. Bishop does not belong as it's the only one which is not a class of nobility. Earl does not belong as it's the only one which is not a Chess piece.

3. Dead does not belong as it's the only one which is not a color. Green does not belong as it's the only one which is not the name of a sea.

timmyboym Nov 04, 2003	This is a really sweet teaser. I like it. Keep Going!
just_moi Nov 04, 2003	thanx... unlike the first one the idea is borrowed but the sets of words r original
mzpuddn Nov 04, 2003	This is the first teaser I have figured out here at this site(I'v only been here twice). But I'v read a few of them. Good One
griphook Nov 04, 2003	keep them coming and keep us smiling
scramble Nov 04, 2003	another cool teaser
Smithy Nov 05, 2003	Nice one
samm Nov 05, 2003	Good job!
howdyall1311 Nov 07, 2003	good job
fishmed Nov 08, 2003	Yellow Sea? Where is that? I must be dense.
just_moi Nov 09, 2003	Fishmed its in china... check this out http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Sea
fishmed Nov 10, 2003	Thanks. I figured it out after Googling it.
7catac7 Nov 14, 2003	Hey moi, you wouldn't mind if I could make 3 new ones (the odd 2 out ones) and kind of steal this idea? Just wondering.
mollamusic9 Nov 15, 2003	in the second one you could elimenate earl, it not being a chess peice and all, gthen take out bishop because it doesn't start with a 'k'
lauramarie Nov 17, 2003	Great teaser.
Moondancer Nov 20, 2003	Good one! The color ones with 'dead' in it stumped me, I never knew there was a yellow sea either!
heyevpos Nov 25, 2003	fun teaser - thought the 3rd one was dead not a color, black not on a stop light...
Mogmatt16 Nov 29, 2003	I don't know why but this is just a fun concept.
just_moi Nov 30, 2003	Wow Mog i feel so honored 7cat sorry for the late response but SURE GO AHEAD! (i borrowed the idea off a magazine too )
freakachica714 Dec 03, 2003	hey this was a stellar puzzle but the last one with the colors you could take our dead because its not a color and black because it doesn't have double letters, green 2 e's, dead 2 d's, and yellow 2 l's. Just a thought!!!
just_moi Dec 03, 2003	hadnt noticed that freakachica! nice going
zowerskii Dec 03, 2003	technically, black is not a color. If you want to repeat the riddle then you could try using the Red Sea rather than the Black Sea. Other than that, i thought it was really clever.
coolbrain2291 Dec 04, 2003	wicked teaser but one thing, i know a girl whose name is tulip, but i'd like to see more teasers from you!
fg_4ever Dec 25, 2003	Good teaser, I got part of it. And I was thinking the same thing as molla music.
YouKnow Dec 30, 2003	I did not know you had to use the one that was obviously wrong when determining the next wrong one. If I would have known this, I could have gotten them all right.
just_moi Dec 30, 2003	actually youknow u didnt have to do that (u did it the right way!)
brgdo1994 Dec 31, 2003	I didn't really like it, but it was fun! Whoever made this should make it a little more interesting.
coolbrain2291 Jan 12, 2004	how can it be fun if you didnt like it? oh well i liked it as i said in my previous comment, and guess what? i got the first comment on this teaser for 2004! lol
bbngk Jan 12, 2004	Dazzling
coolbrain2291 Jan 22, 2004	hey i like almost all your teasers and would like to see more, just wondering if ya wanted to be friends ??? oh well i already added you
MasterMind90 Feb 22, 2004	I liked it and don't you know I got everyone wrong.
AhSeng Mar 03, 2004	if i'm not wrong, you took if from the magazine "reader's digest". Right???
just_moi Mar 03, 2004	ur right AhSeng! i took the idea from readers digest (but i made up the pairs of words)... in the other one though (Odd Two Out) the pairs are from readers digest
(user deleted) Mar 22, 2004	that was cool. ireally liked that one.
FrostedTangerine Mar 22, 2004	ouch, my brain hurts... good one
Palsha Apr 10, 2004	nice teaser moi!
shanny09 Apr 18, 2004	That was way good. hey i'm new. any other good ones you could refer me to. what other ones did you make. i have a good one coming its being checked right now though.
crystalstar Jun 25, 2004	Woah that was good. I love these kind of teasers which are good but I can get. Some teasers are good but really hard. Anyway, I got all of all of them except the last one....
(user deleted) Sep 09, 2004	Pretty
something Sep 19, 2004	Dude... I just noticed this teaser. GREAT teaser. Keep up the good work!
shortstopsmile Oct 01, 2004	There's a black sea? Scary.
just_moi Oct 01, 2004	its not really er black lol thats just the name of the seas
Kindaichi Dec 01, 2004	nice one!
angel103 Dec 01, 2004	it was pretty good
angel103 Dec 01, 2004	it was pretty good
I_am_the_Omega Dec 01, 2004	Nice! Not hard, but very fun :-)
passion Dec 01, 2004	GREAT TEASER!!!!! VERY EASY
Tiggr Dec 01, 2004	I believe that there is a dead sea and it was given the name due to the seve salt content and every or any fish/animal that lived in it died, hence the name Dead sea. But regardless it was a very cool teaser, keep 'em comin'
Tiggr Dec 01, 2004	I believe that there is a dead sea and it was given the name due to the severe salt content and every or any fish/animal that lived in it died, hence the name Dead sea. But regardless it was a very cool teaser, keep 'em comin'
besbball917 Dec 01, 2004	That was an awesome teaser!! I only got stuck on one of them! Keep up the great teasers just_moi!!!
mcgrawactor1 Dec 01, 2004	I had fun with this and I got it! That always adds to my pleasure. Very clever. Good one!!!
gemtiger Dec 01, 2004	I really like this one. Clever!
waker Dec 01, 2004	I liked it except the last one. I got Dead, but I thought you could say Black since it is the only one spelled without an E
Araldite Dec 01, 2004	Good teaser. I missed the third one because I thought black is not really a color but the lack of color. I shouldn't have gotten so technical about it.
elephunk Dec 01, 2004	wow! great teaser! Its the one out of few that I have actually had the patience to think about. And hey I got all but one right! Yay!!!
babygirl35 Dec 02, 2004	this was good but i got them all wrong because i was thinking very tecnical i guess you can say i just think too much but keep em comin!
babygirl35 Dec 02, 2004	this was good but i got them all wrong because i was thinking very tecnical i guess you can say i just think too much but keep em comin!
Nicky101 Dec 02, 2004	Many different answers. Number 3 was open. Black could be out because it doesn't have double letters, green could be out because it's not on a bee. Yellow could be out because it has 6 letters and black and green have 5. Dead is definitely out.
RoXyAnGeL Dec 10, 2004	That was really fun!.... keep um comming
Therulerofthem Dec 12, 2004	very good teaser, wow theres lotsa comments
StepIntoNoWhere Dec 18, 2004	good one
Sarah5225766 Dec 29, 2004	i liked this one! usually I only like math ones, but this one was good!
PBlover Feb 03, 2005	very very very very fun!! the one i didn't get was #2 but this is defintely one of my favorites!!
squigit182 Feb 21, 2005	very clever..the first 2 were easy, but u stumped me on the others
kcelf27 Apr 27, 2005	I liked that one a lot. I got the example before I scrolled down and saw the answer...Then I got the others except the black one. I thought black is not a color either. But I didn't think it would be that easy. GREAT JOB!!!
darthforman May 22, 2005
Isabella2204 Jun 02, 2005	Very creative! Keep'em coming
drussel3 Jun 10, 2005	Fun One. I got different answers. #3, Dead for not a color. Black for not being in the rainbow.
flipflopchica Jun 11, 2005	Genius!!
ElectronJohn Aug 18, 2005	Great idea Moi and great teaser! Are you going to make any more of these? They are fun.
smarty_blondy Oct 01, 2005	I like this one a lot, keep them coming.
marching_xc Nov 09, 2005	I like this one. It's easy enough that I could get most of them but hard enough to keep me interested and there were a few I didn't get... You should make more of these!
coldfire Nov 26, 2005	nice one I got only 1 right though
bluehawk Dec 01, 2005	good one moi. i got all but #3 . this one through me a tad. . i enjoyed this thanks!!!
steveingreenwoo Dec 01, 2005	Pretty cool teaser. I thought Yellow was the second answer on the third one, because it's not in the name of a band. Green Day, Grateful Dead. and Black Sabbath.
shawneeo Dec 01, 2005	Gosh, I feel like Scrooge bcoz I didn't like it like CRAZY!!! Sorry, but I just found it awkward, that's why... And because the black and dead one, The is a Dead Sea, The Dead Sea Scrolls? Haven't any of you, cept the one above, heard of them? But, not bad, just not what Im used to. Maybe if there were more it would have been more fun, like six or nine. Thanks!
smee Dec 01, 2005	Wow!! Great teaser! After doing a bit of thinking, I finally got all three right, and I just LOVE these early morning "mental excercises!" Keep up the good work, Moi!!
MurfQ Dec 01, 2005	Great teaser! I got all but the second part of the last one. I knew that it was based on sea names but I wasn't familiar with the yellow sea so I didn't know if it was yellow or green that didn't belong
ceeyaaa Dec 01, 2005	Good Teaser...I also missed the second part of #3...I thought it was Black...lets have some more of these teasers
lupolo Dec 01, 2005	I really enjoyed this one - good work
choptlivva Dec 01, 2005	Good one!!! I did get them all. But, after reading the other comments, I realize that there could have been other "right?" answers. So many different ways of matching and discarding!! Makes the comments really interesting!!
cassiemark Dec 01, 2005	That was really good! Thanks!
kman613 Dec 01, 2005	good one. i got them all right, but one of them for a different reason. I said earl doesn't belong because its not a chess piece, and bishop because it doesn't begin with a "K". Good one - I liked the twist of having to look twice.
amyu05 Dec 01, 2005	That was SAWEET!!!!! I liked it alot!! You are a brilliant person!!! The yellow sea, where is that???? Snaps for you (snap snap)!!!
lorelle_b Dec 01, 2005	Great teaser...And for the example, I think "Tulip" can be a girl's name--I read a book once called "Hope Was Here" and Hope's real name was Tulip. (and if i were her i would change my name too!) But it was great! Good job
sequoia-mom Dec 01, 2005	Interesting! Very good!
rkaaland Dec 01, 2005	Lincoln never made a truck!!! Good job really enjoyed it!
boriqua Dec 01, 2005	Very good
truetease Dec 01, 2005	This one was cute!!! I really like it. There should be more like this!!!! I didn't get both on 3, about the EArl. Oh yeah, acutally Lincoln did make a truck...the Navigtor and the Aviator.
jimbo46 Dec 01, 2005	Got half of most; the obvious ones. Just couldn't get my mind around the 2d part.
DeeAnn Dec 01, 2005	Great teaser, I got them all but the last one. I got dead but didn't figure out the sea, and wanted to kick myself after looking at the answer.
trueJesusfreak Dec 01, 2005	Fun. 3 was hard
stm8r1 Dec 01, 2005	Since when is "DEAD" a color on a bee and a color on a rainbow? Some earlier commenters didn't get the concept that there are two different sets of three that have something in common. For the last one, I came up with Yellow as the answer since the other three are included in the names of musical groups: Black Sabbath, The Grateful Dead, and Green Day.
hidentreasure Dec 01, 2005	I got all exept 3 Fun teaser!
wizkid Dec 01, 2005	This is such a great teaser. The only one I didnt get was the last one. Keep these bad boys commin.
azbee123 Dec 01, 2005	that was soo good! i loved it!
cheer_leader_qt Dec 01, 2005	it was fun! this one was one thay i pretty much got! keep em' commin!
poopstain Dec 01, 2005	Great Teaser!!! Awesome job moi that was really fun. Last one kinda had me stumped though. oh well, GOOD JOB!!!
lovefrenzy Dec 01, 2005	good one, but the the third one, i didn't figure it out. i thought dead would be out of coler and yellow out of six letters
princess0611 Dec 01, 2005	This one is great!
POPS Dec 01, 2005	In one simple word! GREAT, Did not know there was a yellow sea???so got 3 0ut of 4 for sure a FAVORITE for me Thanks.
bookerj07 Dec 01, 2005	i didn't get the last one!!!! man i didn't know there was a thing such as ayellow sea where is that?
southerngirl13 Dec 01, 2005	that wuz a gr8 1!! luved it. PS: yes, i enjoy these early morning exercises, also... NOT!!! what's up w/ that? pshhhh.... :
southerngirl13 Dec 01, 2005	gotta go count my $$$, but it wuz gr8, just like i said b4. i luv bragging!!!
southerngirl13 Dec 01, 2005	hey ya'll this one dude said,"I'm apalled at the lack of simple basic manners on this site!" it was hilarious!! you should go look @ it!!!
southerngirl13 Dec 01, 2005	READ THE 3 COMMENTS PRECEEDING THIS ONE!!!!!!!!! READ THE 3 COMMENTS PRECEEDING THIS ONE!!!!!!!!! READ THE 3 COMMENTS PRECEEDING THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!
bennyraw Dec 01, 2005	I went with yellow and green being primary colors
smart-1 Dec 01, 2005	This was a sort of easy 1 keep up the work
Aarghonauts Dec 01, 2005	That was a fun little ride! ON the last one, I eliminated dead first and then black because it's the only one not on a stoplight!! Got my little pea brain a-rollin'
lindquist_25 Dec 01, 2005	That was the best teaser I've ever seen!! And I got the first one!!
Winner4600 Dec 01, 2005	I don't get how people could mess the last one up...I got all of them in maybe 10 seconds max each By the way, I thought it was a good teaser.
DaveC Dec 01, 2005	In the example after you eliminate Jane, of the three left Lily and Tulip are grown from bulbs and Rose is not
srichardson1066 Dec 01, 2005	This was a very good puzzle and a fun one. However, the problem with things like these is that there are often more than one answer that would work and could potentially be correct. For instance, I thought that last one had to do with band names (Green Day, Black Sabbath, and the Grateful Dead). Anyway, it was fun and I liked it.
Graceiswayneat Dec 01, 2005	Yeah, Good Teaser, I figured it out in like 10.03 seconds. It was SOOOOO EASY. No, just kidding, it was challenging especially the sea one. I hearted it!
sln03 Dec 01, 2005	I got them all right except the last one 'cause I didn't know there was a yellow sea
wolfmanh Dec 01, 2005	Great teaser, I only got some right though, keep these up
BraingleMaster2 Dec 01, 2005	I thought for the last one that Black didn't belong because it is not some part of a famous band. Yellowcard, Green Day, Grateful Dead.
FriarFox Dec 01, 2005	What about Black Label Society, Black Sabbath, Black Crowes, Black Eyed Peas, Black Box, etc.?
redraptor50 Dec 01, 2005	Great teaser, liked it
geniesue Dec 01, 2005	Great one, got them all. Looking forward to more of these
mogur Dec 01, 2005	Too many comments, not enough time. Hope there isn't a pop quiz on them.
leroy_h Dec 02, 2005	Igot two out of three :
suganue Dec 02, 2005	I liked this teaser alot. Mainly because I rarely get the chance to feel really, really smart and, after reading the comments, I get to feel smart for a moment b/c I got all of them !!! I also loved the idea of the teaser. You did a great job
don_antonini Dec 02, 2005	easy!ok lang cya
nikitafullmoon Dec 02, 2005	I like this teaser, too. I think there are certainly other answers. For example, dodge, ford and hoover are all verbs (hoover is the British term for vacuuming--Presidents of the US...really, now!), yellow is the only two-syllable word in that set. BTW, green is not a primary colour. It's made up of blue and yellow. Don't forget about us other countries doing your riddles! Keep 'em coming!
okie12342004 Dec 02, 2005	Great! Only got one right but really enjoyed racking my brain.
mogur Dec 02, 2005	Very good points, Nikita. However, blue is made from magenta and yellow, and yellow is made from red and green. So, the physical reality is that there aren't any so called primary colors (colours, in your country). All additive colors can be made from red, green, and blue (the monitor that you are looking uses RGB phosphors). All subtractive colors can be made from cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (printers and typesetters use the CMYK system).
markmonnin Dec 05, 2005	Woo! I loved it!
Sara2009 Dec 05, 2005	Uh...Pretty stupid Teaser!!!
teen_wiz Feb 04, 2006	That was cool! I really liked it! Keep 'em coming!
aaks94 Feb 14, 2006	cool teaser. That was a good one!
keveffect1 Feb 20, 2006	For the second one I thought Earl was the odd one out because it was the only one that wasn't a piece used in chess. Oh well
vanessaruck1989 May 06, 2006	I got all of them except for the sea one.
xxilove_ihatexx Jun 19, 2006	i got all of them .. but the last one was a little tricky so i didnt get it.. well done! just a suggestion though, try to add more to it!!!
speedywheels Jun 24, 2006	Awesome. I'm putting this one in my favorites.
Barticus Sep 30, 2006	Good one. I got two and a half right. (I didn't get the seas ) Pedantically, "bishop" can be a title of nobility, but the intent is obvious.
OldChinaHand Dec 01, 2006	Still a grand teaser...fun to work out. Thanks.
Lizzie713 Dec 01, 2006	Awesome!!!!! I lvoed it I got the 2nd and 3rd ones but not the 1st Thanks kepp them coming
cloughme Dec 01, 2006	Good Job!
marschie Dec 01, 2006	Very, very nice!
coachpisco Dec 01, 2006	Black does not belong because, it too, is the abscense of any color. But the teaser was very well contrived. I liked it.
gailpoolner Dec 01, 2006	Jane does not belong because it is not a flower. Rose does not belong because Lily and Tulip are grown from bulbs, a rose is not.
bradon182001 Dec 01, 2006	I was thinking along the same lines as Coachpisco. Guess there is always more than one answer. Good teaser. It sure made me think about the answers.
maka10 Dec 01, 2006	Very cute! Good job!
puttumup Dec 01, 2006	fineally a teaser that made me dust the cobwebs out of the brain good job
lmurray Dec 01, 2006	IT'S OBVIOUS THE TEASE IS GOOD AND VERY WELL LIKED, BUT HOW MANY TIMES CAN IT BE RERUN AND NOT GET TOO COMMON PLACE? I LIKE IT, BUT ENOUGH ALREADY.
zaya Dec 01, 2006	Fun, 1st two were easy but 3rd one made you think.
Blondie116 Dec 01, 2006	nice work. Loved it!
tchershelly Dec 01, 2006	I like it , the number three I choose obvious dead then said black, because of no eeeeeee's keep them coming
vlerma Dec 01, 2006	Nice teaser. Has a few debatable answers but is a sound job. I enjoyed it.
breathesunshine Dec 01, 2006	This was a fun one. Like so many that commented I had a different answer for the second part of #3. And for those who may have seen it before remember there are new people joining all the time (like me!) so while this may be recycled to you, it's unfamiliar to us!
phyllisa Dec 01, 2006	I loved this one!!!!!
tpkarth Dec 01, 2006	Good one..but then u said Tulip is not a girl's name & I happen to know a girl with that name!!!
pretty-in-pink Dec 01, 2006	well great teaser!! it was hardd!!!! the ONLY oneee i got was the onee with the colourss....CYA!!
locutus13ds Dec 01, 2006	Only get partial credit for the first halves. I did not know how to do this. But seeing the answers is awesome!
speedqueenkmw Dec 01, 2006	more, please
rea14sambo48 Dec 01, 2006	I liked this one!!! I thought the same thing as heyevpos except then I realized that it couldn't be cause dead isn't 1 either!
jjdolphine Dec 01, 2006	I liked this one a lot. I could figure them out except I wasnt sure on the yellow-green-dead-black, yellow messed me up. I was thinking along the lines of you are lookinng :green, dead, I thought it maybe would work for yellow
katie4 Dec 01, 2006	very good!!!! can some one pleasue tell me how to change user names
katie4 Dec 01, 2006	sorry I mean please
blondebookworm Dec 01, 2006	This is a hott teaser! I got the right answers, but for the first one, I was thinking that Lincoln would be out because it was the only non-verb, although now that I think about it, Hoover isn't either, I was thinking hover.
aresII Dec 01, 2006	simply excellent!!
MalcolmReynolds Dec 01, 2006	Black ain't a color. And I'm pretty sure knights were not considered nobility... they were a step below..
gamer6 Dec 01, 2006	great teaser i only got 3 wrong
Moon_Girl_ Dec 01, 2006	yellow is a sea?!
natureluver Dec 01, 2006	165 comments!!!!!!(including this one)
casarussell Dec 01, 2006	fun teaser!
4kai2lyn6 Dec 01, 2006	I did like it, but there were way too many "answers may vary" instances, as a ton of people have already pointed out.
lil-mouse Dec 01, 2006	cool teaser got all 3. knights in a sense considered noble just not born that way it is nobility by earning it you can be a knight then earn other titles so knights was low form of nobility.
Dan141 Dec 02, 2006	Great teaser a tad easy though
LordT Dec 02, 2006	Way WayWay 2 easy
wordmama Dec 02, 2006	Enjoyable teaser. My problem with the last one: once you eliminate Dead for not being a color, it's hard to think of Seas (even tho' I know that Yellow and Black are Seas) b/c Dead was a Sea but already eliminated!! All I'd been able to come up with was yellow for # of letter, and that is really lame--I knew it had to be meaning, not appearance. (sorry, # of letters)
patpat553 Dec 03, 2006	WOW! YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL HOW INTERESTING OR GOOD A TEASER IS BY THE NUMBER OF COMMENTS. APPARENTLY,THIS ONE WAS A REAL WINNER!
Qrystal Dec 18, 2006	I loved this teaser, and I loved the one it was based on. I also got them all, but the real reason I liked it was just the fun of finding two groups of three from the four. That said, it seemed a lot of people were confused about the instructions for the teaser. Is it possible to modify the directions to say something like: "Find two groups of three words from each set of four"? Plus, for a hint, I think it would be a good idea to say that the relationships have nothing to do with the letters or syllables of the words, but only their meanings. Maybe I'll come up with a teaser along these lines .... they seem like fun to make too! Good job on this one!
Qrystal Dec 18, 2006	Oh yeah, and maybe to avoid the whole "Is Black a colour?" question, perhaps it's best to just say that "Dead" is not found in a box of crayons.
violinist3746 May 27, 2007	these are really cool! id love to see more!
cheese1951 Jun 24, 2007	Don't like it. I found different answers. Bishop I got, but I said because it was 2 syllables. I said Dead and Black. Dead is obvious, but I said black because Yellow and Green, because they have 2 letters that are the same together (ll and ee). I am sick.
4demo Aug 14, 2007	I got everything except for the "sea" part to #3. Great teaser - really fun and requires a little thinking and knowledge!
(user deleted) Sep 05, 2007	sorry to disapoint you but black is not a color either...
petey127 Dec 14, 2007	Sweet teaser! I got them all right
SSVillalobos Feb 15, 2008	Excellent work! I loved the twist in making two of them the odd ones out, for different reasons. I can tell this took some work.
(user deleted) Jul 16, 2008	i like it! i got all except for the last one, about the seas
AndrewWalker Aug 25, 2008	the last one black doesn't belong b/c it isn't a primary color of light!
Paladin Mar 13, 2009	Very good one... I got them all, but the last one took some thought (the others jumped out at me). And for those of you complaining that "black" is not a color, it is certainly a color in many definitions of the word (and not a color in others, such as when referring to prismatic light). Perhaps you would prefer "colors of a crayon" to pure "color". Either way, the answer works and this was a very clever puzzle. Well done!
dalfamnest Dec 01, 2009	Good one - worth a repeat! I solved it a few months ago but enjoyed it again; that must be a sign of a successful teaser.
leroyleroy Dec 01, 2009	GOOD JOB--I LIKE IT
katamaster Dec 01, 2009	As a point of note. I know two women by the name of Tulip.
kaaozz Dec 01, 2009	or.....hoover does not not because its not a car and dodge does not belong because its not made by ford. and ....earl does not belong because its not a chess piece and bishop does not belong because it doesnt start with the letter k .
elentir Dec 01, 2009	kaaozz - your solutions don't work because hoover is not made by ford and earl doesn't start with 'k'. You have to put the words back in and then select the next odd one out.
doehead Dec 01, 2009	Wow, this teasers been on here twice as long as I have. Congrats to the editors for their extended vacations. Just use repeats.
Aaronnp Dec 01, 2009	Really good, but black isn't a colour, its a shade. 8-) NERD
patiencewithaP Dec 01, 2009	So where is the Green Sea? That one threw me but I still like the teaser! Good job!
MrsK Dec 01, 2009	There is no Green Sea (that's the odd one out). The seas are Yellow (in China), Black Sea, and Dead Sea (also known as the Salt Sea). I got #3 wrong because I was thinking about band names, too. However, yellow is the only one with two syllables making it a possible answer. Good quiz---now I'll have to look up the Yellow Sea.
auntiesis Dec 02, 2009	The only one I missed was the Sea. Got all the rest. Very good teaser, I liked it a lot.
John_RD Dec 04, 2009	Dude Black is not a colour!
(user deleted) Feb 01, 2010	i thought it was good, however tulip is also a girls name
mathisnice Mar 17, 2010	Excellent job, but Tulip is also a girl's name as the above poster said. I got them all except part of 2 and part of 3.
JQPublic Dec 04, 2011	Great teaser. Black is a colour just as zero is a number, in my opinion. However, knights are commoners.
royale-ninja Jul 19, 2012	i got some of them right
Babe Dec 01, 2012	Wow! I like hevepos's answer best for # 3. Traffic light fits great. I have seen this one before on this sight though!!
jaycr Dec 01, 2012	Got #1 and 2. BTW if your post has to do with teasers being reused, send it to the administrator of this site. I don't thnk he/she reads these comments.
lukasiwicz Dec 01, 2012	Sorry, JQPublic, though your spelling of the word "colour" suggests that you are British and might be expected to know something about social stratification in Great Britain, in fact knights were and are considered to be members of the nobility, although not very exalted ones. One is in fact ennobled by being knighted, and thereby being granted the right to be called "Sir."
HABS2933 Dec 01, 2012	I enjoyed this teaser. I got them all except the second part of number 3. Missed the fact they were all seas. I spell it colour too, and know nothing about ranks or nobility; nor am I British.
cutebug Dec 01, 2012	My teaser; OLD-BLACK-WORNOUT-NEW. Black is eliminated because it is a color. New is eliminated because we never see these types of teasers.
gaylewolf Dec 01, 2012	You rock, cutebug. Up to your old tricks, I see! As usual, the comments are as good as the puzzle itself!
eamon Dec 01, 2012	Nice idea but still needs a lot of tweaking to fix errors. Black is not a colour. (Red alternate was given above) Tulip is indeed a girl's name sometimes. ( ...use Carnation or something) Bishop is also rank. ( ...just say non-secular instead) Hoover just misses being a Chinese car brand by an extra letter o, Hover is made for the EU market in China. (No chuckles about suction please.) Lincoln the company is the only one of those four ( Dodge brothers, Henry Ford and W. Hoover) not named after its original owner or founder Mr. Henry M. Leland but named after the founder's favourite president. So not an error, just an alternate answer.
Summer-Ktreva Dec 01, 2012	I got most of them, but on the third I guessed dead and yellow, because yellow is the only one with two syllables...
