Will, a waste of time, I must bring this farce to an end, you (eventually) worked it out. Well spotted the O-O-O, but it is a terrible thing to let grown men weep too long.

The answer to 2778 is simple, the Odd-One-Out is the silver car with number 99 on the side, because it is the only one with an odd number, all the other cars carry an even number.

I bet even the famed Cate Blanchett could have spotted that one, although I suppose it would have read 66 down under, of course.

Now all we have to work out is;

Why is P L Martini the Odd-One-Out?

So don't horse around, no prancing please, it makes me see red.

Another simple answer to 2778 is that all of the drivers have a White helmet except 1 who has a red one . Just be careful about how you mention RED HELMET

Tel, if you are an expert at spotting simple answers, how come you did not enter the numbers puzzle, after all it was very simple?

Oh! I expect you would have made a cock-up of it

The fact that you are posting here is at least a good sign. Well done.

If the numbers one was 2751 , I though only one was a prime number , but I do go off on odd ideas sometimes .
Just like I did not want to mention RED HELMET , because I though someone would come up with a rude joke . But I suppose " Cock Up " is not to bad .

Since when carrying the # 99 is odd, I wonder… As to Cate Blanchett, I find a relation with the picture above, my answer is The Hobbit! Dont have to look for my coat, I'm not there…

I am overwhelmed with pride! Three (reasonably) correct answers all ready. I see that as a triumph (TR2)

Well done RBS, 356, and Paul D.

Yay! I got one right at last!

Keep quiet about it though - I fear I may be ejected from the Stupido Club...

Flushed with success, I venture to offer another teaser; All that is needed is the name of the personality concealed in the pictures. OK?

These ones always hurt my brain. I know the cars names, butI never know what letters of the various cars or model types to use.

Fortunately I have a busy afternoon and evening so cant sit and fry my brain to a burnt mess. Until later.

That was a hideous question.
I did say early in the piece I was confused as to whether I should be using letters from the brand names or the model names.
I would never have got the answer even if I had all the right letters.
Im not going to ask you how you know of a US rapper called LA BLUE.
Act your age please.

.

I wont mention that there is only one B in La Blue whereas ERA B Type and MG B add up to 2 x Bs.
