odd one out

[Lewis Ellis]

Paris, Athens, Sydney, Washington, London
Hughes, Betjemen, Yeats, Wordsworth, Bridges
Scalene, Hypotenuse, Equilateral, Trapezium, Isosceles

[nomad123]

washington (not olympic venue)

[kettledrum]

Sydney - the others are capital cities
Yeats - the others are Poets laureate

bit confused about the 3rd one ... scalene, isosceles & equilateral are all sorts of triangles, hypotenuse is a side on a right angled triangle, and a trapezium is a 4-sided figure.... so either hypotenuse (not a shape but a line) or trapezium (not a word associated with triangles)

[kettledrum]

..... or nomad could well be right with his reasoning!

Thanks all for answers, I too was confused about the triangle one, in fact the whole quiz is a bit confusing!!
