 		[Water Set] #029 - Beware The Puzzle Monsters
Picture is of a small child in his room hiding under his cover, a big yellow monster is springing out of what looks liek a rubik's cube in the middle of his floor asking him a question:

Guest Puzzle Architect - Micheal Smith
Guest Artist - Matt Jones
4th Wave Numbers present:
1-14443432.5-3 (smaller, upright)
3-232.52.51.1-1 (larger, upsidedown)
Card Symbol Present: 7 of Diamonds


Card Text:
"For generations, parents in Perplex City have frightened their homework shy children by introducing them to the legend of the Puzzle Monsters.

these curious beasts are rumored to dwell within the network of labryinthine tunnels that exist deep below the city. Every now and then they surface to post a quandary to a hapless youngster. An incorrect answer ensures a swift one-way trip to the mysterious Puzzle Monsters lair.

How would you fare if one crossed your path?"


The monster is asking the question:
"Unscramble these six earth cities and tell me which is the odd one out?
MORE
SOLO
NONOLD
SPAIR
ALONECRAB
LOCKMOTHS"

 		The cities unscrambled
The Cities:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

ROME
OSLO
LONDON
PARIS
BARCELONA
STOCKHOLM


My Guess:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Probably London, since it's not on the continent, but it could also be Paris, since it's the only city without an 'O'.

Or BARCELONA because it has 4 vowels, and all the rest have only 2.

It might take us 2 days to answer this one! Laughing

 		Perhaps the answer could be:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Stockholm

The reason I say this is because:

Rome = Italy
Oslo = Norway
Paris = France
Barcelona = Spain
Stockholm = Sweden
London = England

Stockholm is the only city that has it's country that begins with the same letter. I know its a longshot, but worth a try! lol

 		Got it on my first try because I liked Badbarry's reasoning the best, and mine wasn't bad either. Wink

 		I had the odd one out as
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Oslo

It is the only city not to have hosted the Summer Olympics. Just goes to show what happens when you over-think these things!

 		I had the correct choice, but my reasoning was:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Although they are all capital cities, Barcelona is the only one that is NOT the largest city in it's country (it's the 2nd largest).
