Opium doesn't have an "E".

Barton: Have you read the Bible, Pete?
Pete: Holy Bible?
Barton: Yeah.
Pete: Yeah, I think so. Anyway, I've heard about it.

You are quite right. But it's not the right answer (rather like some IQ tests that actually have more than one possible explanation).

Cagey has 2 syllables - the rest all have 3 :shock: .

Or:

Cagey has an alternate spelling, cagy - the rest don't have any alternative spellings.

Effigy = F R G
Opium = O P M
Tedious = T D S
Cagey = K G
Deviate = D V 8

Deviate is the Odd One out, as you can hear a number in it when said...

A man driving a Pinto, leaning out of the window so everyone can see his "31" tattoo, listens to Vanilla Ice.

What is he?

Nearly a month is waaaaay too long for no new riddles, so here's one for ya :shock: (not too difficult in my opinion :roll: ):

It takes 852 digits to number the pages of a book consecutively. How many pages are there ..... AND how many times is the digit 7 used?

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??
