Find the Odd man out
     a) .com
     b) .edu
     c) .gov
     d) .xxx
     e) None of the above

Answer: 
Last week the right answer is option "d".
This week the right answer is option "e".

Reason:

Last week .xxx was not an Internet domain name. So .xxx was Odd man out. But this week .xxx is also Internet domain name. Obviously now the right answer is "None of the above".

Explanation:
Websites name usually end with .com or edu or .gov

          Example
          www.annauniv.edu
          www.google.com
          www.usa.gov

So far you never seen website which have .xxx as a suffix. But now you can see website like www._____.xxx 

.com represents Commercial website
.edu represents Educational website
.gov represents Government website
.xxx represents Pornography website 

Last Friday Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) approved .xxx as domain name for porn websites. 


More about xxx

The name xxx was suggested on Bush government. At the end it was approved on Obama government. Moreover the interesting fact is that porn website owners are smart and proactive. Already 2.8 Lakhs websites have been registered with .xxx name. We can expect .xxx websites after six months.

The name is xxx. So what?

Pornography will be available on separate domain name. So now it's easy to filter porn websites. It's really boon for organizations, colleges, universities and governments.
