Spot The Odd One Out…

Police officers in Gloucester have come under attack from youths throwing rocks and bottles.
Yes, you read that right. Gloucester
Later, Gloucestershire Police said a total of nine men were arrested following disorder in Gloucester.

They are aged 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 24, 26, 26 and 40 and all live in the city. They remain in custody.
The only think I can think of is that maybe this was a family affair, and the out-of-place 40 year old was the paterfamilias…

Inscrutable race, much inter-breeding.

I noticed that the eye witness described them as being from the `Jeremy Kyle` world. Does this really mean that none of them know if they're the father?

How can anyone past their teenage years count as a 'youth'?

If it is a family affair he must have been elbowing the midwife out of the way in the delivery suite ?

When out of a slum

17 and 19 are the odd ones out because those are prime numbers.

"17 and 19 are the odd ones out because those are prime numbers."

Allowing for > singularity, Mark, 16 and 18 are odd by virtue of being the only two numbers in the series with dissimilar totals of factors.

Heh! I was very proud of myself, watching 'Eggheads' last night, for knowing what the 'Sieve of Eratosthenes' was...
