Which word in each series is the odd one out, and why? You may find different answers from mine for perfectly good reasons. Some are straightforward, others a little sneaky and some a bit fiendish.

-1. phlegm, cribbage, delivery, penchant, hearing
-2. sale, crew, present, time, love (hint: they came two by two)
-3. bonnet, gangster, cover, scrap
-4. lion, wolf, goat, bull
-5. O, H, E, C, N
-6. Greece, France, Austria, China, Nigeria
-7. issue, evolve, age, out, egress
-8. route, write, towed, squire, troupe
-9. green, yellow, orange, purple, pink
-10. sapphire, diamond, ruby, topaz, emerald
-11. Alabama, Pennsylvania, Ohio, California, Georgia
-12. copper, iron, tin, bronze, lead
-13. Peter, Mike, Charlie, Oscar
-14. first, cost, dusty, abet, flux
-15. bow, arrow, wind, tear, lead
-16. siege, muster, murder, trample, skulk
-17. day, planet, wood, temple, fox
-18. bound, fix, dust, left, pain
-19. won, ate, but, for, too
-20. tone, ram, who, salt, pow

To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self.
