== Round 3 - What Doesn't Fit ==
(With help from listener Drew Meyer)
For five points identify which item in a list doesn’t fit, and for another five explain why.
For Example, from the list veils, fishes, geese and dwarves, the answer would be geese, because there’s the dance of the seven veils, the feast of the seven fishes, seven dwarves but only six geese a-laying.
