It's time again for an odd-one-out quiz. (This one may be a tad more
difficult that the previous ones.) For each question, you are given five
items that all have something basic in common. Four of them have something
more notable in common, and your task is to find the odd one that does not
fit in.
You can motivate your answer, but you don't have to. However, if you
don't give a motivation, your answer must agree with what I have in
mind. For all questions, save for the last (where I give the motivation),
you can still be awarded for answer different from what I had in mind,
if you give a correct motivation for what is notable is common for the
other four. There is no penalty if you give the indended answer with
an incorrect motivation.
The usual rule applies: only use your own knowledge, no googling,
not asking the wife, the dogs, the cats etc. Post answers to the
newsgroup.
I'll plan to score this quiz by Saturday 18th.
Have fun!

I can think of at least two good answers to this one. I guess I'll go
> 1. Superheroes: Captain America, Green Lantern, Hulk, Silver Surfer,
> Spiderman
with Green Lantern because he has no intrinsic superhuman abilities,
just his ring: Captain America has superhuman strength and whatnot in
addition to his shield, Spiderman has lots of intrinsic abilities in
addition to his webshooters, Silver Surfer has power aside from his
surfboard, and Hulk only has intrinsic abilities.
My other answer, which I am providing only for amusement, is Silver
Surfer, because he has no alternate identity.

1569 - This saw the formation of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth,
which formalised Poland and Lithuania as a single state. They had been
united by a personal union for 183 years. This is the odd one.
1772 - First partition of Poland by Russia, Prussia and Austria.

Patagonian fiords is the last outpost of the Kawéscar people who used
to live on these lands and waters. There are no roads leading here, but
Navimag pass by with their ferries four times a week en route between
Puerto Natales and Puerto Montt. People come out with their boats to
load and unload goods and people. They do have 4G coverage.

This is from the Río Hurtado valley, some 350 km north of Santiago as the
crow flies. Rain is erratic in this area, and that is why the mountains
are bare. But the ground as such is very fertile, so add water and it
starts to grow like crazy, and the vegetation along the river is very dense.

The Atacama desert meets the Pacific Ocean at the original site for Pisagua.
(The modern Pisagua is 2 km further south, but that, too, is almost a
ghost town after the demise of the nitrate boom). This is one of the few
places along the coastal range where a river bed has managed to cut through
the coastal range. Just don't ask me where the water is.

Tyresta National Park is just south of Stockholm and I often to there
in summer. They say that this type of nature of pines growing on a thin
soil on rocky ground is unique to the area around Stockholm and the south
of Finland. The rock is from very old mountain, and normally mountains
that old are covered by a thick layer of soil. But during the ice age,
the land was pressed below sea level. When the ice withdrew, the open
sea flushed away all the soil, and the rock came into the open. As the
land kept bouncing back, it is again above sea level, but the amount of
soil assembled on top of it is thin.
So this is the odd one.

The vulcano Villarrica as seen across the lake of Villarrica from the
city of Villarrica. On the other side of the lake, at foot of the vulcano
more or less, lies Pucón, which, according to my guide book, has the
highest concentration of tourist facliities in the Americas south of
Costa Rica. I never made it myself to Pucón, though.

question, but I was still surprised over some of the answers. New Zealand?
I can't think of how neither H or T would fit in there.
> Second tie breaker: From which country is the odd one?
For me, this is a very common scene, but as I said above, I am told that
it is unique to this part of the world. But maybe the story is that if you
find a scene like this elsewhere in this world, it would be on higher
elevations in a mountain range, and not in a coastal landscape.
Thanks to everyone for playing!

Well, consider that the question was imprecise. The intended categorization
is really geography *and* science, not *geographical* science, which sounds
like a fancy way of saying geography, or even a non-native speaker's error.
Further, element symbols are never written in block upper case.
Now the entire western border of CA and OR is ocean, the entire
southern border of AL is ocean, and the entire northeastern border of
MN is lake. But the northern border of NE is mostly on dry land and
part of it follows the Missouri River, with the lake forming a small
part of that. I think describing the state as *not* having a lake
boundary is no more imprecise than the question was, and should be
accepted.

If you mean me, I said "almost anywhere", but I meant almost anywhere
in the US, which is where I guessed that four of the pictures were.

for this kind of crossover problem. Least not if I did not wanted to
give away the clue to easily.

but I decided to use the format for states. And quite a few entrants
got what was it is all about. Even if one entrant still picked the wrong
state.

such, since this really two different notable things, and not one.
The lake was only the final nail in the coffin.
A motivation like "does not have any water border at all" would have
had more relevance, had that been true. Although, if I would do something
like that, I would rather find four square states and then add something
with at least a partly curved state, for instance Nebraska.
Looking in retrospect, I should have taken another inland state instead
of Oregon. Then again, that is the charm of these quizzes: it is always
interesting to see what the entrants come up with.

Yes, what I said. It's the four that should be notable, not the odd one.

few days when getting from the Argentian part of Tierra del Fuego to the
Argentian mainland. On the other hand, I've been to Argentina three times.
(And this might have occsionally exhibited in my quizzes.)
But. yes, travelling from Chile from south to north (or vice versa) will
give you a display of radically different landscapes.
It still irks me that I missed out on the transition from the verdant south
to the drier subtropical area around Santiago and Valparaíso. But there is
not that much to see in this area, except for some national parks (including
one which has a feature which obviously must have been the inspiration
for Frank Zappa's "Inca Roads"). Alas, they closed all national parks the
summer I was their due to the risk for forest fires. So I took a bus
directly from Villarrica to Valparaíso, but these buses only go by night.
