In general when I post an 'odd man out' the four others usually have something in common like they all had or was something or had done, tried or suffered something that the odd man out hadn't - that is there is a connection between the four that the fifth lack. Exsample:

Gloin
Durin VI
Telchar
Thrain
Nain

Wrong answers could be: Durin is the only one that is named Durin (kidding to make a point) or Telchar is the only one that made a knife used by Beren. See that doesnt make any connection between the other 4 besides the obvious fact that Beren only used Angrist or that the others obviously wasnt named Durin.

Right answer would or course be that: Telchar wasnt of Durins line or more precise that: Telchar wasnt King of Durins House.

Then you go: NEITHER WAS GLOIN - and this is the trick part of the question (which is always a nice feature to add I think) Yes he was... check the family tree.

So obviously Luthien batteling Morgoth or holding a Silmaril is not the correct answer.
