Odd One Out

[Guest]

It's possible that you just haven't given it enough time to catch on. We're still in the first round of this game. I checked the quizzical connections game when it first started and at this point (after 13 sets) this was the score:

It's not the scores that are the problem hun... it's the fact that they are up for days and days sometimes....

But you could be right.

I love the thought and creativity you pour into all of your threads. Lit is a better place to be because of you all. I've not kept up with this thread, but it's piqued my interest and I might just start playing. Thanks so much!

Thank you. That means a lot.

 

[wonderingwhy]

I would like to try to play again if you decide to post another round. Just figured I'd offer that up.

PLEASE read The Rules.

0. If someone correctly identifies a picture that is the Odd One Out, but does not spot that it's the odd one out, they get one point. The person who gets the picture AND the odd one out (and why) gets 2 points..... even if the picture has already been correctly identified. If you try to guess the odd one out and get the reason or picture wrong, you get nothing, even if you correctly identify the picture. You MUST get both parts.

1. The winner is the first to 20 points. At that time the top 3 will go into the Hall of Fame as gold, silver and bronze medal winners in the first post of the thread. Scores are then reset to zero and we carry on. This is so that people are not put off from joining late.

2. You may only answer ONE THING from each set of odd one out clues (a clue OR the odd one out)….. But the first one to arrive gets the choice. Once you've given an answer, you must wait until the next picture set. PLEASE do not answer more than one question per set. PLEASE do not quote the clue in your answer. It confuses people and slows the page down. PLEASE don't give hints with regard to any other clues or the odd one out with your answer.

3. Once everything has been answered another set will be posted and the clock re-sets.

4. You can only answer ONCE. So be careful, particularly on the odd one out... if you are WRONG..... that is your go used up. You cannot answer again. For example... if someone answered incorrectly, they would be frozen out until the next set of clues. This is to give people offline at the time a chance. The same applies if you answer correctly and just get beaten to the answer.

5. If someone breaks rule #4, I will deduct a point from the person who broke it, unless they are a newbie or have a good reason.

6. Also... no editing of posts ... even for typos... as I don't know what has been edited. An edited post will be void. I'm not too worried about spellings as long as the meaning in your post is clear, but if you've made a typo you think needs to be corrected, please say so in a SEPARATE POST.

7. Could you PLEASE letter your answer, so there is no ambiguity over which one you are answering. Thank you.

8. Should there happen to be more than one odd one out between the pics, the only answer I'll accept is the odd one out I have identified. If you have a moan or gripe, PLEASE do it by PM and not in the thread. It spoils it for everyone. But... once we have discussed said moan/gripe, my decision is FINAL. Please accept that.

9. Have FUN, and please don't take it so seriously. But please put some bloody effort in to it!!! It's not THAT hard!

14.
Please either choose and identify ONE of the sports below for 1 point, OR guess the odd one out (and why) for 2 points.

Um... no, sorry. I think you look too deeply and for obscure stuff. You can make a case for all of them doing that.

1. ping pong

Well... as a former top brit Table Tennis player, I hate that term.... but ok...

Correct

I wanted that it was the only non-racquet sport.... but that's near-as-dammit.

3. Tennis

#6 racquetball
