Aussie Toilets

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.

What word does not belong to the group below? Why?

Earth
CD's
Clock
Venus
DVD's
Watch

Answer

Earth
The rest of the words all involve something that spins clockwise.

CD's/DVD's spin clockwise in machine
Clock/Watch have hands moving clockwise
Venus rotates clockwise on its axis

Earth is not unique. All of the planets in our solar system, except for Venus, rotate anti-clockwise on their axes.

Title: Aussie toilets are commonly misrepresented to spin clockwise due to the Coriolis effect.
