I always like doing these and might as well share one with you all.

Which of these numbers does not belong with the group? (And explain why you chose that number)

80, 71, 32, 26, 35, 62, 44, 17

[nsguy1350]

32, it's digits add up to 5, not eight.

[chrishuff]

Hahaha nice. You wouldn't believe what I was doing at first when I was trying to solve this. You know all the different types of numbers? Yeah I was trying to figure out something by that. Over-thought the question.

I guess they wouldn't put something too hard as a question on the back of a DOTS candy box.. xD

[nsguy1350]

Haha, true. Let me make one up, and I'll post it if one comes to mind.

[nsguy1350]

How about this one: Pick the odd one out.

172, 299, 5555, 2116, 371, 37, 0, 4321

[PokémonMaster]

For nsguy1350, 371 because the digits don't add to a multiple of 10. For chrishuff, alternatively on the first one, 32 is the only happy number.

Try this. Which 2 don't belong in 5,61,78,79,153,179,and 984

[nsguy1350]

The bad thing about these types of questions is that there are infinite solutions. For example, for PokemonMaster's problem, I could say 79 and 179, because they contain "79", or 78 and 984, because they are the only even ones. These were pretty easy anyways.

[PokémonMaster]

My solution would be 78 & 79 because they are the only consecutive integers.
