A, B, and D were all spoken by Aslan, but I don't recognize quote C.

Well A and D were definitely at the end of HHB and SC respectively, and B was from the beginning of SC. So my hypothesis is that C is from the end of a book (PC perhaps?) so the odd one out would be B. So I am off to check my 7-in-1 Chronicles tome to check out my theory.
 
Close enough. They are each the last words spoken by Aslan in their respective books, except for (b) which are the first words spoken by Aslan in TSC. (You are correct that (c) is from PC.)

Well done!

I don't feel like going back and seeing if this was asked, but here is a new od-one-out riddle (see first page for the rules in case you are new or forgot).

14A
1 Apple
2 Gold
3 Silver
4 Toffee

MrBob
 
I think this is about trees, but I'm not sure which is the odd one out. The gold and silver grew on trees that grew from coins that fell from Uncle Andrew's pockets. The toffe was also planted and grew, but I can't remeber if it became a tree or a bush - I always visualise it as a bush. The apple of youth also grew on a tree, and Digory planted two new trees that grew from the apples of the earlier ones.

So I think the answer is either (d) toffee, because it grew into a bush rather than a tree (but I'm not sure if I'm right about this), or (a) apple, because apples naturally grow on trees and the apple tree was already there when Digory arrived rather than being planted, or perhaps (a) apple because Digory then took the apple back to England and planted it there and it grew into an apple tree.

Am I right with one of those?

Peeps

Edit: Duh! I just got this one on my way to church. (b), (c) and (d) were all brought from England and planted in Narnia, but (a) was brought from Narnia and planted in England. So (a) is the odd one out.

Incidentally, the toffee did grow in to "a tree about the size of an apple tree", so my childhood memory of a small shrub is completely wrong on that one!

Thanks for reviving this thread. Actually, I was just about to post a new one too. This one still remains to be answered.

In #32, I think the odd one out is c, Mane, because all of these you typically hear with "Aslan's" in front of them, but the others are all places associated with him, while his mane is a part of him.

In #31, a and d are said by bears, while b and c are said to bears. I know this isn't an answer, but am I on the right track?

I think the answer is a because all of the others were signs in Narnia and also were spoken of by Aslan either directly or indirectly. The bell invitation was created by Jadis.

Of course I could be totally wrong as well...:)
 
You were correct, Peeps, in your latter explanation for my question.

As for yours:
#32.
(a) Country
(b) How
(c) Mane
(d) Table

I think it is d for the same reason Laurel presented. It is known as the Stone Table, where Aslan was killed and resurrected.

#34.
(a) An invitation to strike a bell
(b) An invitation to enter a garden
(c) The Deep Magic
(d) The third sign

I'll say a. It was the only one warning not obeyed by the protagonists.

#32 correct - all can be preceded by 'Aslan's', but it is more common to refer to 'the Lion's Mane' rather than 'Aslan's Mane' (although Caspian does once say 'Aslan's Mane' in VDT. [Aslan's Table is in VDT, on Ramandu's Island.]

#31 - you are on the right lines, but you are wrong about one of the by/to attributions.

Lionsman and MrBob - good guesses on #34, but not what I had in mind. You can't really say (a) was disobeyed, as it gave a choice. The third sign wasn't strictly in Narnia, although I suppose it was in the Narnian world. It's not to do with where they were written or who by, but rather how.

(a) LWW ch 17
(b) PC ch 11
(c) TLB ch 3
(d) TLB ch 8

I sped-read these four chapters last night to no avail. "He's not a tame lion" came up in three of them. I'll just have to let the content of these chapters sink in. Unless, of course, the answer has nothing to do with the content.
 
I had not noticed that. The answer I have in mind has nothing to do with the content of the chapter, but could be worked out just from reading the contents page.

:eek: Of course! Not sure why I did that wrong, but b is also said by a bear, not to one. So, c is the odd one out, since it is said to a bear and the others are by bears.
 
Peeps, these riddles are a blast!

#35.
(a) Jadis
(b) Uncle Andrew
(c) Caspian’s gentlemen-in-waiting
(d) Argoz, Revilian and Mavramorn

My guess is (a). While they were all put under an enchanted sleep, only Jadis cast such a spell upon herself.



I'm still trying to work out:

#30.
(a) LWW ch 17
(b) PC ch 11
(c) TLB ch 3
(d) TLB ch 8

From the contents page, we see that the title of the respective chapters are:

(a) The Hunting of the White Stag
(b) The Lion Roars
(c) The Ape in its Glory
(d) What news the Eagle Brought

The only thing that sticks out is that there is the name of an animal in each chapter: Stag, Lion, Ape and Eagle.

Is this observation a good basis for finding the answer?
 
One is a stag, one is an ape, and one is an eagle. The stag is not given a name, while the ape referred to is Shift and the eagle referred to is Farsight.

Does it have something to do with leading/following/misleading? The White Stag led the Pevensies out of Narnia (or you could say the Pevensies followed the White Stag). Aslan led the Pevensies out of the woods to Aslan's How. Shift misled the Narnians. I'm not sure how Farsight led anyone. Anyway, that feels like a stretch. I don't know what else it could be, though I feel like I'm going to kick myself when I find out!
