Well I've bled so much that I've gone dizzy then fainted on a few occasions so odd one = ache

Ache. It is the only word that is not an adjective.

dizzy.
The others can all be verbs (?) I think.

edit: too soon... as usual

Dizzy is an adjective, the others are verbs. You can bleed, ache and faint but you can't dizzy.

Edit - too slow, as usual.

Maybe context would help.
Is this from an English paper, or a Biology paper.

You can bleed, ache and faint, but you can't dizzy. Dizzy's my punt.

Not wishing to hi-jack the thread, but what's next in this series:

O,T,T,F,F,S,S ?














(answer is: E). This was an 'eleven-plus' question!!!!!!One two three four five etc.

Ache - Its the only one begining with a vowel.

Dizzy - cos its mechanical and you used to find them fitted on cars.

Bleed - because it could have outward manifestations (and it could be accompanied by all the others).

Feint - because its spelt wrong.

Bleed - because its out of order, the correct order is ache, dizzy, faint, bleed.

O,T,T,F,F,S,S ?


E for Eight is the answer


One Two Three.............etc

Bleed - you need to do something about it. The rest you can only wait until it passes.

Yea, bleed is the only visible syptom.


You fancy being an ambulance driver then?

Following the ambulance driver idea I'll say Bleed. The others are I suspect more important to worry about, where a bit of blood (unless there's loads) is probably not as important immediately.
