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?

Date: 2004-05-08 04:37 pm (UTC)puppy dog tails? this nursery rhyme was written by robert southey around 1800 and has survived through the centuries in defining the difference between boys (icky things) and girls (nice things). over the course of time and in order to accommodate other countries, different nasties were used in place of frogs. some use snakes, other snips (though what a snip is, i have no idea, but since it has no bearing on this op, i don't really care either).
