Odd-One-Out Answers (2003)

If you are new to this web site, don't just click on the answers. You will have far more fun racking your brains first, and only clicking on the answers as a last resort. Of course, I can't force you to follow this advice, but I can tell you that anyone who just reads the questions and clicks on the answers is an intellectual wimp who might as well go off and look at some less stimulating site.
