0 akaslickster Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 the y is odd because u ask y with a w for why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Maybe Maybe R is odd one as it is neither even nor odd function, if we look at letters to be graphs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 grey cells Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 A . Because A can again be used to form another word from the same word , i.e. , RUNAWAY. RUNAWAY on a RUNWAY.

0 Guest Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) I think this one should do A is the odd letter as it is the only letter from first half of alphabets. All others are from 14 onwards. Edited April 21, 2008 by imran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Another try N It is the only letter to have open ends on top and bottom Theory is comming along! not there yet - looking at the answers that too is open-ended! Can be so many, maybe an answer can be elected at the end. I still have another answer in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I think that it's R, because all the other letters are symmetrical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'd say the letter "A". All the others can be turned into another letter if you put a mirror over them and reflect part of them: R->B U->O N->M W->V Y->X or I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Or is it more mathematical?W is odd in this word as can be bisected into 2 letters v and v. not math - a little counting, not alphabetical/rlative to placing though the soloution is three, now what's the answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Could it be W, because it's the only letter completely made out of straight lines that doesn't have three line segments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
