The next one is the new contest.
(think about the individual letters in the second one.....)

Ok Anne here is an easy one!!
Find an english word that has nine letters but only one is a vowel!
Here is the next challenging one perhaps you can help me out?
One of these is an odd man out, which is it? Bedford, Sussex, RIchmond, Norfolk, Somerset? "Odd man"that is a clue!!
That is the one I can't figure out yet!

Denise Hmmmm Sussex, Norfolk and Somerset are all counties ... Bedfordshire is a county (but not Bedford!) ... Richmond is a place in West London and NOT a county at all .... BUT I don't think that's what they are looking for!!  The "odd man" is throwing me ... |

There is certainly a DUKE of Bedford and I think a DUKE or something of Norfolk and ... hang on ... I need to do a bit more homework ... but am just wondering if it has anything to do with this ?? That is the one I can't figure out yet! Modified to say I can find an EARL of all of them so I guess that isn't it!!  |

That is the one I can't figure out yet! I looked up odd man on the internet and it came back with a movie set in Ireland in the 1960's Are any of those places in Ireland? I am no geographer. I even stop and ask for directions.  Miles  |

I wondered if all but one ("odd man out") are also cities in the US. Anyone know of a Sussex or Somerset in the US? |

Ok let's clear this up for you!! hehhe..Sussex is the odd man out as there is no longer a Duke of sussex in the english peerage. (Now Lady Anne you should have known that!) The nine letter word with only one vowel is : Strengths! Now for the winning question! As I did indeed win yesterday!!!!! Thanks all!! Here is is: In the 20th century British troops have fought in conflicts involving the Orange Free State, Germany, Brunei, Northern Ireland, Argentina and Iraq. What do all those places have in common with one another? Ok!!! THere you have it! You can check my blog to see what I won and get a little clue as to the answer!! Denise kwon.relatedhelp.com |
