this game is simple enough to understand. the question involves 4 pictures of various ships. any type, any country. 3 of them must have something in common. the next person must state which ship is the odd one out and why that is.
REMEMBER- each question has more than 1 possible anser so it is possible for lots of the ansers to be correct
here is the first question. ur 4 ships are
-scharnhorst
-bismarck
-deutschland
-admiral sheer
-
Nice idea..but where are the pictures ? ;)
-
Scharnhorst the odd one out.The other three were known as pocket battleships,whereas Scharnhorst was a battleship or battlecruiser.
-
Bismarck a pocket battleship? That's like calling King Kong a monkey.. ;D
-
Or alternatively the Deutschland could be the odd one out,.. that is named after a country, where the others are named after militairy and political leaders. (a general, an admiral and a chancellor)
:)
-
the anser is they were all named after people exept the deutschland, which was named after the country.
deutschland is the odd 1 out
-
ok try this. the ships are....
yamato
tirpitz
hood
queen elizebeth (the battleship)
-
Isn't it Freds turn now? He got it right
-
The Queen Elizabeth saw action in WWI, the others did not.
Hood was completed at the end of WWI but didnt go into service untill 1920, Tirpitz and Yamato were built later, respectively during and just before WWII.
So QE would be the odd one out I think.
-

yamato
tirpitz

queen elizebeth (the battleship)
I think it's the Queen Elizabeth, because she is the only one in the list which didn't got sunk.
-
Wasn't Tirpitz stuck with her superstructure on the seabed and her hull sticking out the water, capsized?
Technically that's not sinking, that's running aground upside down. ;D
:P

:P
Haha, ok, I missed that. :P
-
Then I think it's the Yamato, because it is the only non-European battleship. ;)
-
Well if you want to, I bet you can find a reason for any of them to be the odd one out.. ;D
But the QE fought in WWI too.. and the other three all fought only in WWII. That's still my guess. But there's more than one answer possible, obviously. :thumbs:
-
But there's more than one answer possible, obviously. :thumbs:
I guess. :P
-
the anser is they were all fitted with 15 inch guns except for yamato, which was fitted with 18 inch guns.
yamato is the odd one out
any1 else want to ask the next 1?
-
Errrmm.. ok
I liked my answer better.. haha :doh:
-
there are more than 1 possible ansers to some questions
here is another
-britannic
-lusitania
-olympic
-mauretania
-
I think the odd one is Britannic, she never served as an Ocean Liner and Olympic, Mauretania and Lusitania did. Or the Lusitania is the odd one because it wasn't made a troop ship or hospital ship around the time it was sunk.
-
i think it's mauretania because the other ships there came later and were much larger.
-
i think it's mauretania because the other ships there came later and were much larger.
Mauritania and Lusitania were sisterships. Lusitania came first of the 4, btw.
-
i think it's mauretania because the other ships there came later and were much larger.
The Lusitania is the same size as the Mauretania (Sister Ships are normally the same size) and the Olympic and Lusitania came at around the same time or earlier than the others.
-

Lusitania was finished in 1906, Olympic was in 1911. ::)
-
there were some very intresting points there. the anser i was thinking of was olympic as she was the only ship of the 4 to sink an enemy submarine during the war.

Wait a minute.... You just randomly select 4 ships without knowing an answer yourself? :-\
-
I forgot that! The Olympic, at the time a Troop ship, spotted a U-Boat and turned towards it and ram it. I knew something was left out in my knowledge of the liners.
-

no i select 4 ships knowinjg 1 anser but i read some intresting points on how it could have been one of the others if you see what i mean. i already had the anser
-
ok before i have other ppeople havin a go askin me if i know the anser or just picking ships at randome here is the nex set ;
-hms hood
-titanic
-wilhelm gustlof (apologies if spel wrong)
-lusitania
*hint - it has nothing to do with when they sank just so you know!*
-
umm the HMS Hood is a warship?
-
umm the HMS Hood is a warship?
true but it isnt that easy lol
-
Titanic is the odd one as all the other three sailed in a World War while Titanic sank before World War I, Lusitanis sailed in WWI and the Hood the Gustloff sailed in WWII
-
The Hood is the only one to have been sunk in the Battle of the Denmark Straight..Either initially by the Prinz Eugen or later the Bismarck..
-
very good ansers. my anser is the gustloff is the odd one out. when the others sank there was puplic outcry and shock in britain when reached britton of their sinkings while he sinking of the wilhelm gustlof was all but forgotten
-
The sinking of the Hood caused quite a shock as well..
-
The sinking of the Hood caused quite a shock as well..
exactly. the point is all 3 generated som form of shock reaction while wilhelm gustlof's sinking went almost unnoticed
-
Could the reason be that the Gustloff was sunk by a Soviet Sub and not another allied one?
Allmost all of the people on-board were civilians, among them more then 500 children.
It was an outreagous act of brutal slaughter from the side of the Soviet Union.
In 1990 the commander of that sub was posthumous awarded with the title "Hero of the Soviet Union"
SOME HERO :thumbdown:

you are right. anyway moving on. here are the next set
-olympic
-aquitania
-carpathia
-queen mary
-
Olympic was the only non-cunard ship in that list?
-
Queen Mary is the only vessel on the list still around?
-
Carpathia is odd because she was the only one to have sunk.
-
gud ansers. my anser is the aquitania as it was the only liner to serve in both world wars.
as i wont be here for a couple of days anyone else want to name the next set?
-
ok now i am out of the hospital here are the next set to get things going again
-scharnhorst
-bismarck
-admiral graf spee
-admiral scheer
-
The Admiral Scheer is odd because her namesake (Reinhard Scheer) does not include "von" (Gerhard Johann von Scharnhorst, Otto von Bismarck, Maximilian von Spee are the namesakes of their respective ships)
-
I would also say the Admiral Scheer, but because her size was limited to a cruiser by the Treaty of Versailles..
-

so was the graf spee. it was just sunk before the rest of her class was reclasified as cruisers
-
the anser is they all took part in oporations with atleast 1 other ship during ww2 except the admiral graf spee which acted alone frome the time war started untill it was sunk
-
ok now i am out of the hospital here are the next set to get things going again
-scharnhorst
-bismarck
-admiral graf spee
-admiral scheer
Admiral Graf Spee is the odd out as she was the only German warship not to receive 'Atlantic' bow and a new funnel rake modifications?
(EDIT: sorry I didn't see barrown1990's answer!) :doh:
-

(EDIT: sorry I didn't see barrown1990's answer!) :doh:
its ok i dont mind getting other possible ansers, quite like it in fact. dont think admiral scheer got the rakedbow
-
ok here we go
your next 4 are .....
-titanic
-scharnhorst
-ark royal (the ww2 carrier)
-olympic
-
Olympic is the only ship which didn't sank?
-
true. but there is sumet else
-
Titanic is the only one that didn't served in a war?
-
they were all regarded as lucky ships except for the titanic which passengers said was cursed
-
remember it was the ice burg
not the passangers on titanic that cursed her!
-
How can you call the 2 naval ships 'lucky' while both sunk? And the Scharnhorst was a German Navy ship! :o
-
Supporting Barrown's answer of his clue, he must have been meaning that the Titanic had an alleged curse on her for being said to be yard number 390904 backwards for 'nopope.'
-
remember it was the ice burg
not the passangers on titanic that cursed her!
yes but lots of people all had bad feelings bout the trip and considerd her to be an unlucky ship
-
How can you call the 2 naval ships 'lucky' while both sunk? And the Scharnhorst was a German Navy ship! :o
ark royal had led a charmed life. surviving 3 privious claims that she had been sunk. and so what if scharnhorst was german. it makes no difrence about nationality the point is both ships, and olympic were regarded as lucky ships by those who ran them.
scharnhorst was a lucky ship by those who sailed on her
-
Also, I was a huge Titanic fan some time ago, and I never heared that the passenger found the ship a cursed ship. I think they more had the trust that the ship was (practicly) unsinkable.
-
ok heres another odd one out question. this time the 4 are
- scharnhorst
- deutschland
- bismarck
- admiral hipper
(this is not about the type of ship)
-
hmm i dont know this one (only that the Admiral hipper was a Heavy cruiser)
-
The Deutschland may be odd one out as her name is translated to being "Germany" in the German language
-
The Deutschland may be odd one out as her name is translated to being "Germany" in the German language
the deutschland is the odd one out because unlike the others deutschaland had a significantly different superstructure than its sisterships unlike the others which were almost identical
-
Well, I do have to say that even sisterships have something different from eachother so I don't think this answer is a good one... :-\
-
its been a while since i posted something so here is another odd one out
your 4 are...
- hmhs britannic
- battleship bismarck
- admiral graf spee
- lusitania
