4. Oakham

Do you have the odd one out from these Olivet, Gorgonzella, Molbo, Tilsiti

[bibster]

gorgonzello as it is the only blue cheese.

[ladyalex]

I think 2 is LARCH as it is the only deciduous conifer.

The other are all evergreen conifers.

[halcyon days]

You are quite right ladyalex that is what I had but looked one line too high on my answer sheet and saw puce then thought I must have miseed off the s. Sorry about that.

[smouse]

I presume that means you have puce for number 2 - I've got heliotrope cos others are colours - what is your reasoning for puce

[smouse]

sorry and why Oakham I had Derby but cant read my own writing so cant read my reason

[bibster]

heliotrope is a purple colour which fits in with violet and lavendar , well thats what i have got but may not be right.

[smouse]

see why its puce now - others are flowers

[smouse]

back now and have deciphered my writing
I had Oakham because the others were County towns so please tell me why you have Oakham

[joban]

Oakham is the county town of Rutland.but it does not have a university. i'm clutching at straws on this one.

[fordward]

i have puce cause the rest are plants
i have derby cause the rest are county towns

[fordward]

derby big as it might be is not a county town

[smouse]

wiki said it was and I dont do geography so I believed it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_town#List_ of_county_towns

so why Oakham then!!!!!

[Devonwoodman]

Chester, Derby and Ipswich all have Football Teams......

[smouse]

Thank you for that

[Tichfield]

Despite what Wiki says, Derby is not the County town of Derbyshire. It's Matlock.

and if I told you I lived in Chesterfield you would see how bad my geography is!
