Braingle: 'What other letter...' Brain Teaser

What other letter...

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.

abrakadabra_12 Dec 05, 2001	not neccesarily BM! yu would have to say they are all semtrical VERTICALLY!
sireesht Dec 18, 2001	They are mirror image vertically or say mirror is kept above/below the alphabets .....
Iambraindead Feb 19, 2002	On my monitor the upper part of the "B" is smaller than the lower part. That is a vertical flip does not result in the same letter. That's symmetry?
rose_rox Mar 22, 2002	Iambraindead is right, the bottom half of the letter B is almost always bigger than the top.
piffle May 08, 2002	oh my goodness you people nitpick. do you think that when someone writes something, say with a pencil, everything comes out perfectly proportional? I mean, good gravy, "THAT 'H' isn't symmetrical when i write it! i'll whine about it! nuh nuh nuh der der!"
peppermintwist Jul 09, 2002	I liked the hint... it sorta gave the teaser away, so it let me get the answer and feel smart for a few minutes! Great teaser!
mozven Sep 03, 2002	The proper way to say it would be that they all have a horizontal line of symmetry.
froggygg May 22, 2005	Look closely at the B, the upper portion is smaller than the bottom, therefore when flipped it would not be the same.
AZTTT Sep 14, 2005	good one. While one half is not a duplicate of the other half, the letter Z can also be flipped
smarty_blondy Sep 14, 2005	It CAN be fliped, but will not meet the requirments of this teaser. "B" does not fit, either on computer or if written by hand. Keep them coming!
stephiesd Dec 15, 2005	"B" fits perfectly fine. anyhow, the hint helped alot.
Atropus Feb 12, 2006	It's a matter of "bi-lateral symmetry" vs "rotational symmertry"... Either way, if Z fit the profile it would be in the teaser example, as would S. The example is there to demonstrate the pattern. I like it ^_^
2rubystar2 Oct 27, 2006	I liked it too.
LeafFan4life Mar 04, 2007	l can work also
