Goodworth Clatford Quiz

[Jean60]

How about some odd men out
1. Lakes, Makes, Rakes, Wakes
2. Danube, Oder, Rhone, Thames
3. Action, Ever, Right, Sever ?

[Spotty Dog]

For 3, try putting a "F" in front of each word.

[bobbinwales]

2 thames.... only runs through one country, others cross border's

[klazomaniac]

1 Wild guess. Take 'akes' off each word.

L (left)
M (Middle)
R (Right)

in that order. So W (West) would be the odd one out.

1 iffy lakes ...put up after others ?

[Spotty Dog]

I think Lakes as well..
Other 3 can be nouns or verbs. Lakes is just a noun.

[bobbinwales]

Or MAKES- all the others have anagrams from there letters= kales, reaks, askew

[bobbinwales]

^Meant asker not reaks!

[Tilly2]

I put lakes because it wasn't a verb.

[bobbinwales]

I think thats the best explenation Tilly... I was just adding to the list a reasons why really

[Tilly2]

It's a very trying quiz, Bobb. :-)

[bobbinwales]

Am not keen on these as theres often several possible answers and its not always ovious what the expected answer is.
for example while Lakes looks best to us for 1 maybe the setter is thinkig Makes a s you can a letter before all the others to make another word- like flakes, brakes, awakes
