A Tasty Treat
Group
These brain teasers rely on your ability to recognize groups of common attributes. For each of these puzzles you'll need to figure out why the words or letters are grouped as they are. Sometimes you will be asked to pick the odd-one-out or to place a new word into the correct group.Group
Which word from Group B belongs in Group A?
Group A:
Pecan
Coconut
Peach
Olive
Group B:
Orange
Raspberry
Coffee Bean
Watermelon
Group A:
Pecan
Coconut
Peach
Olive
Group B:
Orange
Raspberry
Coffee Bean
Watermelon
Answer
Coffee BeanAll of the things in Group A are individual drupes. A drupe is a type of fruit with a fleshy skin made up of the skin and flesh surrounding a hard shell that protects the seed.
It should be noted that while raspberries are referred to as drupes, they are made up of many small drupes (called drupelets), and are therefore an aggregate fruit instead of single drupes like the items in Group A.

I also got this right by guessing Good teaser!
Pecans are drupes? I'll take your word for it, but I'm not getting the "fleshy skin" connection.
Got it. . .and had the right idea. Didn't know the word though. Good one, thanks.
I'm with Paul.. I had the flesh surrounding a 'nut'. Didn't know drupe was a word -- you can bet I'll use it in the next word game I can!
i'm confused i dont get these group ones
I was at a total blank, even when I got the answer!
fun teaser tho'
fun teaser tho'
I think Coffee Bean and Peach should be switched. That way "Group B" consists of all flavors of sherbets!!
Good one, phrebh!!
Good one, phrebh!!
I didn't think of the word "drupe", but I thought of how all the first group items look growing on a tree, and Coffee was the only one that looked like that.
An alternative that works perfectly. All the words in group A have an odd number of letters. All the words in group B have an even number of letters except raspberry, so raspberry could belong in group A for that reason.
