Question types: Which is the odd one out?

Rule: Odd one out

Find a property that all but one share: the kind (animal, fruit…), odd or even, what they divide by.

For numbers try: even or odd? Multiples of 3, 4, 5, 9? Square numbers? Prime numbers?

Example: 4, 8, 12, 15, 20: 15 is the odd one out; the others are multiples of 4.

Watch out: Check that your rule works for all the others, not just for two of them.
