Online IQ Test

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?

Hey, you forgot the part where the tomato is the only one where the seeds are traditionally eaten.

I remember an online test that I took like that--if I recall correctly, the choices were "Deer, mule, ostrich, lion". Well, the mule is the only hybrid and the only domesticated animal, the ostrich is the only biped and the only non-mammal, the lion the only carnivore, the deer the only ruminant, etc....

Gah. Well, little things please little minds.
