It's time for one of my occasional quizzes again, and this time
it's an "odd one out" with a slightly revamped format.
For each question there is first a topic for the question. Then you
get a list of six items. Five of these items share a common
property of some noteworthy, while the sixth item does not have
this property. Your task is to spot the odd one. In all questions
one item is preceded by three asterisks. This marks that this item
is one of the five with something in common.
When you give your answer, you can, but don't have to, include a
motivation for your answer. However, if you don't include a
motivation, you answer *must* agree with what I have in mind.
If you answer something else that I had in mind, but you leave a
motivation, I might still reward you a point, if I find that the
motivation is correct and noteworthy enough. Observe that the item
marked with asterisks can never be a correct answer - even if
there is something apparently odd about it.
If you give the intended answer with an incorrect motivation, you
will still get your point.
As always, only use your own head. Don't consults wives, brothers,
cats, Chat GPT etc.
I plan to score this on Firday 19th.
Have fun!

I don't have a lot of good answers here, but I am going to take some guesses anyway.

somewhere in Brazil or Italy? See also the signature quote, which

This quiz is over and with only two entrants it was not much of a
success. Maybe the questions were a little too difficult. It's getting
harder and harder to come with new ideas for this type of questions.
Mark Brader won with 7-4 over Joshua Kreitzer and deserves the
awe from all other rec.games.trivia regulars. Yes, also those of
you who did not enter!
Here are the answers:
>1. Football: Juventus, Manchester United, ***Nacional da Madeira,
> Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Sporting Lisbon
Paris Saint-Germain is the only club that Cristiano "CR7" Ronaldo
has not played for.
(This question was also the major reason for the format change.
Without it, Madeira would be the obvious odd answers. As would his
current club in Saudi Arabia.)
>2. Kings of England: Edward IV, ***George VI, Henry V, Henry VII,
> Richard II, Richard III
Henry V, the only one to succeed his father.
Richard II succeeded his grandfather Edward III, as his own father, The
Black Prince, predeceased Edward III.
Edward IV snatched the throne from Henry VI (twice).
Richard III snatched the throne from his nephew, Edward V.
Henry VII put an end to Richard III.
George VI succeeded his brother who was marrying a divorced American woman.
> 3. Chemistry: 2, 8, 18, 32, 40, ***50
40. All others are the number electrons in a full shell.
Both Mark and Joshua got this.
> 4. Nuclear physics: 2, 8, 20, 26, ***50, 82
26.
The others are the "magic numbers" of nuclear physics. An isotope with
this number of protons or neutrons are extra stable.
The odd number is devilish. At least I have learnt that helium and
iron are the most stable elements in the universe, so one would
expect 26 to be a magic number. And when I originally wrote the question,
I had another number as the odd one and 26 a regular number. But when I
double-checked my reference I found that it said 28 not 26! I decided to
keep 26 as a trap that I would have walked into myself.
>5. International organisations: Belgium, ***Canada, Finland, Hungary,
> Sweden, Turkey.
Sweden is, sob, not a member of NATO, still waiting for Turkey and
Hungary to give their nod.
Mark and Joshua got this.
> 6. Music: Arrival, Joyride, Super Trouper, Voulez-Vous, ***Voyage,
> Waterloo
Joyride is an album by Roxette. The rest are albums by ABBA. Mark said
songs, but I have not checked if all ABBA albums have a title track.
Not that it matters.
Mark and Joshua got this.
> 7. Literature: ***Dodo, Doormouse, Hatter, Mock Turtle, Tigger,
> White Rabbit
Tigger is from Winnie the Pooh. The others are characters from
Alice Adventures in Wonderland.
Mark and Joshua got this.
>8. Mountains: Cotopaxi, Fujiyama, Matterhorn, ***Mount Cameroon,
> Mount Erebus, Mount Rainer
Matterhorn is not a volcano. The others are.
Mark got this.
>9. History: ***Bannockburn 1314, Borodino 1812, Kosovo Polje 1448,
> Lützen 1632, Poltava 1709, Wittenberg 1517
Five of these are the site and the year for a battlefield, but
Wittenberg 1517 is not.
In Bannockburn 1314, the Scots won an important victory over England
for their independence.
In Borodino 1812, Napoleon technically emerged as the winner against
Russia, but it will still the beginning of his down fall.
The battle at Kosovo Polje in 1448 was the end of the Hungarian attempt
to hold down the Ottomans, and after this battle there was nothing to
save Bosnia and Serbia. Yes, the battle in 1389 in the same place is
more known, but that battle was not as decisive as some people think.
The battle in Lützen is famous in Sweden, since Gustav Adolphus II
was killed in that battle.
The battle at Poltava was an important victory for Peter the Great
against Sweden and Ukrainian Cossacks headed by Ivan Mazepa.
Wittenberg 1517 is when and where Martin Luther wrote his Ninety-five
Theses.
> 10. Capitals: ***Berne, Canberra, Dublin, Ottawa, Washington, Wellington.
Dublin, the only capital to also be the biggest city in the country.
Interesting enough, while there are many examples of this outside Europe,
Berne is about the only case in Europe.
Mark got this.
> 11. Airports: ARN, ATL, CDG, NRT, ORD, ***YYZ
ATL, the only code that relates to the city it's serving (Atlanta).
ARN - Stockholm. ARN = Arlanda is the name of the Airport.
CDG - Paris, CDG = Charles de Gaulle
NRT - Tokyo, NRT = Narita.
ORD - Chicago O'Hare (not really ORD)
YYZ - Toronto.
>12. City life. See https://www.sommarskog.se/temp/Citylife.html.

IIRC ORD is for Orchard Field, the old name of the airport.

It's my favorite city in the world to visit. I recognized locations
A and E, and while I can't place B, I think the buildings must be
well-known ones. Then F has the word Paris in it (on the blue
rectangle). But C just looks like a typical downtown Paris
location. Other than the style of street signs (with the
arrondissement on top), was there anything specifically Parisian
in it that people were supposed to spot? (It wasn't necessary to
confirm that, because D is nothing like any street in Paris.)

Your comment of C sums it up quite well. I selected pictures

with various scenes from Paris that were distinct enough from
the picture in Buenos Aires. I purposely avoided pictures with
more well-known sights, although Notre Dame can be spotted in A.
Picture F is from Forum-Les Halles. Well-spotted to find to word
"Paris" in the picture - I did not notice this myself!
Beside the architecture etc, there is also a distinct difference
in the vegetation. The pictures are actually all taken in the same
period in spring (around 12 April in Paris and around 12 October in
Buenos Aires), but the cities are on quite different latitudes
