Which of these is not like the others?
Apple
Lime
Orange
Tomato
Well, let's see. The apple is the only fruit with a core, the tomato is the only berry, the lime is the only fruit that's not roughly spherical, the orange is the only fruit without any green on it (no leaves attatched) in the picture. The tomato is the only fruit that is typically used as a vegetable, and it is also the only one that is made of a primary color (the apple is green). The lime is the only fruit without a visible shine, and the only one with a monosyllabic name. The tomato lacks an "e" in its name. I could go on, but I'm bored now.
The whole test is most fucked up. My mom got a Mensa puzzle book once, and I spent a good part of a day noting all the places where, really, their answer was wrong/incomplete because there was more than one right answer to the question. That was fun, if a bit disheartening. Do only conformists join Mensa?

HA! What a crock of uselessness. But it is an amusingly high number (given that I AM a twit). My parents wanted to know becase they thought knowing would help me in school. Or something. Oi.
