Peepiceek's Odd-One-Out Quiz

Hermit of Archenland said:
I'll have a go at this one.

B because they are the only speakers who are actually invisible. In all the others the speaker can't be seen for some other reason, in A Aslan is hidden by the mist, in C the Warden is speaking in the dark of underworld and in D the Dwarfs imagine they are in a dark stable

I'll give you that one. Actually, what I had in mind was (d) as the odd one out, because the others were unseen for genuine reasons but the dwarfs couldn't see Lucy because they chose not to see her. But I like your answer just as much. In fact, come to think of it, you're answer makes more sense than mine!!

B because Puddleglum catches eels and all the others catch fish?

Correct! Well done!

Hey! I also said peacemaker was the odd one becuase that wasn't a name to the pevensie, but I got wrong, while MrBob got right!?

Because the reason it was the odd one out was not because it was the only one that wasn't attributed to a Pevensie (which it wasn't, since 'Great' was also not attributed to a Pevensie) but because that title was not the one by which he was commonly known, which is what Mr Bob said.

#16.
(a) Susan and Lucy
(b) Arsheesh
(c) Lucy
(d) Tirian, Eustace and Jill

I think the commonality here is the sneaking around in A, C and D.
Susan and Lucy hid in the bushes and witnessed the sacrifice of Aslan,
Lucy sneaked into the magician's house to break the spell on the Dufflepuds, and
Tirian, Eustace and Jill spied on what was really going on in the stable with Puzzle and the lion's skin.
However, Arsheesh is the odd one out because during his haggling over Shasta's slave price with the Tarkaan, it was he who was eavesdropped on by Shasta, who thus learned how the fisherman rescued him as a babe from a boat drifting on the tide.

I will now give a quiz with the same rule--odd one out:

1A
BK got this on #156
1. pig
2. flying horse
3. dragon
4. donkey

2A
Reep got this on #157
1. Caspian X
2. Rilian
3. Aravis
4. Corin, but not so much Cor

No pigs in Narnia that I can remember, but there was Fledge, Eustace, and Puzzle.

2A
1. Caspian X
2. Rilian
3. Aravis
4. Corin, but not so much Cor
Caspian X spent his earliest years (those he could remember) in the court of his uncle, who hated him; Corin, Rilian, and Aravis spent early childhood in loving homes (obviously Rilian was then kidnapped and Aravis's mother died and father remarried, but until then...)

Wrong Animus. There were pigs in Narnia. My hint is not to think about Puzzle.

1. Caspian X
2. Rilian
3. Aravis
4. Corin, but not so much Cor
Caspian X spent his earliest years (those he could remember) in the court of his uncle, who hated him; Corin, Rilian, and Aravis spent early childhood in loving homes (obviously Rilian was then kidnapped and Aravis's mother died and father remarried, but until then...)

Go back to Reep's question 21 that you answerd correct, Animus. You were more on the right track with that one.

MrBob
 
Oh, is Puzzle the odd one out? The others got turned into a flying horse/pigs/a dragon.

Hmmm. Dead moms all around--Aravis and Rilian remembered their mothers; unclear on Caspian and Corin. Rilian's was murdered.

I think the theme here is being turned into something. But the odd one out is 2 because Fledge was turned into a flying horse willingly. All the others, boys into pigs in PC Eustace into a dragon and Rabadash into a donkey were transformed unwillingly.

I like the thinking, but it's not quite specific enough. You have the right occasions in mind for (a) and (d), although not the right part of the occasions! Clue: time of day.

1A
1. pig
2. flying horse
3. dragon
4. donkey

I agree with Hermit's answer.

2A
1. Caspian X
2. Rilian
3. Aravis
4. Corin, but not so much Cor
Click to expand...
Their mothers all died, and they were replaced with another female guardian - Caspian with Prunaprismia, Rilian with the Witch, Aravis with her stepmother and Corin with Susan (but Cor/Shasta grew up with no mother). Corin is the odd one out because he liked Susan and lived willingly with her (without even having to be bewitched).

"Oh, is Puzzle the odd one out? The others got turned into a flying horse/pigs/a dragon."

Animus, I already told you not to think about Puzzle. He was not a part of the choices.

"I think the theme here is being turned into something. But the odd one out is 2 because Fledge was turned into a flying horse willingly. All the others, boys into pigs in PC Eustace into a dragon and Rabadash into a donkey were transformed unwillingly."

Hermit, I like your way of thinking, but it was not what i was thinking. Wrong answer. You and Animus need to get your answers together. Anumis got the right odd one out, but for the wrong reason.

"Hmmm. Dead moms all around"

Arent you a downer, Animus :p

"Their mothers all died, and they were replaced with another female guardian...Corin is the odd one out because he liked Susan and lived willingly with her (without even having to be bewitched). "

Another brilliant wrong answer Peep. You and Hermit are great at that. Plus, I don't think Corin ever lived with Susan. He traveled with her and the Narnians, but I think he lived with his father in Anvard, not at Cair Paravel.

You are both correct about the deceased mothers. My hint is to think about how they would have mourned.

MrBob
 
Hm. Corin is I think the only one whose mom we don't hear much about--Caspian gets told his mom was awesome by Cornelius, Aravis loved her mother, and Rilian tried to avenge his???

Rabadash had the threat of being turned back into a donkey, where iirc Eustace, the pig boys in PC, and Fledge were all set after their transformations (Eustace's transformation into a dragon wasn't permanent but his retransformation was).
 
1A
1. pig
2. flying horse
3. dragon
4. donkey [/i[

My next hint is that I could have made the question:
1. boys
2. Strawberry
3. Eustace
4. Rabadash
and had the exact opposite answer that I am looking for.

2A
1. Caspian X
2. Rilian
3. Aravis
4. Corin, but not so much Cor

My next hint is that I could have replaced the right answer with Susan, but I have an issue with the timeline for when TLB takes place. I don't think it was 7 years after TSC, but instead, 2 years, which would make the difference.

MrBob
 
#15.
(a) The White Witch’s house
(b) The Stone Table
(c) The stable in The Last Battle
(d) The Garden with the Tree of Youth in it

Peep, I guess it is d. a, b, and c are deal with death. The statues in the WW's house, the nature of the stone table was about death, and the stable is about people going into death. The garden was about life.

The alternative is a. The other three are about a new life while the WW's house is about death.

MrBob
 
Two new ones:

3A
Answered corectly by BK on #181
1. Helen
2. Lucy
3. Susan
4. Aravis
Note: age, country, and origin are not the right answers. Something more personal to them.

4A
1. Lucy
2. Edmund
3. Eustace
4. Shasta
Note: The first three from VotDt only.

3A. Aravis, because she was born as royalty, while the others were made royalty by Aslan?

I thought TSC was about 200 years before TLB. Tirian says that the chap Rilian had been dead for at least that long.

I got this one.

The obvious answer is (3) dragon. Aslan transformed the other 3 into something else (although flying horse did stay a horse). Eustace turned into a Dragon because of his greed.

The opposite answer is still (3) Eustace, since he was the only one that Aslan turned back to normal.

Is it Rilian, since the others' mothers died when they were children, but Rilian's when he was an adult? (That doesn't explain why you would have said 'not so much Cor', except that he wasn't there when it happened.)

No. I said before it is about their location, not to do with anything that happened there.

Hmmm
So are you referring to the fact that the commonality is late night adventures, with Lucy at the Dancing Lawn, Susan and Lucy hiding in the bushes of the Stone Table, Tirian/Jill/Eustace disguised as Calormenes freeing Puzzle from the Stable, and Arsheesh discovering Shasta in the boat? So in that case the odd one out might be Susan and Lucy since they were primarily observers of the terrible sacrifice of Aslan and guardians of his body rather than active participants in the night adventure as the others were.

Oh so the Garden, the Stone Table and the Stable were all on hills, whereas the White Witch's castle was located in between two hills?

You are right, BK.

"Is it Rilian, since the others' mothers died when they were children, but Rilian's when he was an adult? (That doesn't explain why you would have said 'not so much Cor', except that he wasn't there when it happened.

Peep. You are right. I was going to add that they knew their mother as well, but I don't feel like continuing it to that specific. By the way, BK, I was referring to the England years between TSC and TLB, not Narnian years.

"3A. Aravis, because she was born as royalty, while the others were made royalty by Aslan?"

Glen, yet another brilliant wrong answer. Its not Aravis. There is a recently revived topic on the PC forum that is similar to this one. Also, look at 5A as it will have a similar answer.

Peep. I like Animus' answer to #15 also. The Garden is not in Narnia.
