Prerequisites
How to Solve Odd One Out - Multiple Problems
Step 1: List all attributes for each figure (shape, color, size, fill, orientation)
Step 2: Identify the common attributes shared by most figures
Step 3: The figure that lacks one or more of these common attributes is the odd one out
Step 4: Verify that all other figures share the same combination of attributes
Step 5: Answer which figure is the odd one out and why
Example Problem
Example: Three large red filled circles, one small blue hollow circle. Which is odd? Solution: Step 1: Common attributes: large, red, filled, circle Step 2: The fourth figure: small, blue, hollow, circle Step 3: It differs in size, color, and fill (but same shape) Step 4: The small blue hollow circle is the odd one out Answer: The small blue hollow circle is the odd one out
