Odd-One-Out Answers (2008)

I find that one of the most satisfying feelings is when light suddenly dawns and you realise the answer to a problem you have mulled over for hours or even days. The only way to achieve this feeling is first to mull over a problem for hours or even days. If you click on the answers without putting in the time and mental effort first, then you will miss out on any moments of glorious revelation. Don't say I didn't warn you.
