QR – Cure – Quizzing Realms - 58

Another double question.

Connect the four pictures, and give me the odd-one-out. Also, tell my why it is the odd-one-out.

A

1

B

2

C

3

D

4

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

*******************************

Need I say more? There’s no fooling all of you! These are all April Fool pranks, three of them by Google and one by no less than BBC itself!

The ‘Spaghetti grows on trees’ prank is 53 years old, and was run as a BBC documentary, and apparently, it still has a lot of people convinced! This is the odd-one-out, because it is the only one given here not run by Google.

Meanwhile, check the answers for more details.

  1. All of them are hoaxes.

    Odd one out is the BBC hoax of Spaghetti Crops. Others are hoaxes by Google.

  2. Hello...
    The common connect between the four pics is that they all are April Fool Hoaxes..
    The first pic is of Google 3D which was a hoax of the current year(I nearly fell for this one and downloaded it too but realized the joke when the glass had no lens in the file)
    The second pic is of the hoax played by BBC in 1957 and is known by the name of Spaghetti tree hoax
    The 3rd pic is that of thre Mentalplex which was the first ever hoax played by Google in thr year 2000
    The last pic is of CADIE(Cognitive Autoheuristic Distributed-Intelligence Entity) which a hoax played again by google in the year 2009..

    The odd one out as i can think is the Spaghetti tree one as it is a non-Google hoax..


    Way to go Google!!!!

  4. The connect - All are (were) hoaxes on April Fool's Day.
    1. Google Chrome with 3D - 2009.
    2. Spaghetti Tree Hoax - 1957
    3. "MentalPlex" circle - 2000
    4. CADIE - 2009
    The odd one out, Spaghetti Tree Hoax. Reason all others were by Google while Spaghetti Tree was by BBC.

  5. Arkadev, I would rate this connect as one of the best. I even watched the 1957 BBC broadcast on YouTube.
