Odd One Out

The pictures are:

  • Two people dancing the TANGO
  • A map of INDIA
  • GOLF
  • A KOALA

Tango (T), Golf (G), India (I) are all used in the official phonetic alphabet. However, the phonetic for K is Kilo, not Koala – so the Koala is the odd one out!

Of course, one could also argue that the Koala is the odd one out because golf, dancing and India are all likely to still be around in 100 years…
