Either that or it has multiple solutions.
Yeah, but it’s hard to get around that. Maybe only one of the four is left-handed, but right-handedness is a pretty tenuous connection among the other three. For these questions to be any good at all, the answer will have to be something really specific to the people in the question.
When someone does post the answer (oh, please), hopefully you’ll agree that it fits the question well. It should be one of those things that once you’ve got it, you know you’ve got it, not just a guess.
It can’t be as easy as P. Fogg is the only fictional person in the bunch. Can it?
It could be that John Glenn is still alive, too.
Is this it?
Fogg and Earhart traveled west to east during their (attempted) circumnavigations. Since Magellan went east to west, I’m guessing he’s the odd person out, and that Glenn must have seen the lights of Perth after flying over the rest of Australia.
One of these things is not like the others:
Nampa, Idaho
Tupelo, Mississippi
Bakersfield, California
New Berlin, Wisconsin
Which one and why?
Sternvogel’s got it. Thank you, Sternvogel.
Fogg, Earhart and Glenn all travelled west-to-east on their circumnavigations. Magellan was the only one who travelled east-to-west.
They all have a mass murderer associated with them.
Dahmer didn’t shoot his victims. Is that what you wanted?
Not the answer I was looking for.
Hint: the ones with commonality have one famous person’s name as the association.
She didn’t finish her final circumnavigation, the one along the equator, but I was thinking she had circumnavigated before, just farther north of the equator. Looking her up, I see that’s not true, though. Rats!
Give up?
Here’s another “what do they have in common?” group that all have a 6-letter word as an answer.
Ice Skater
Ballerina
Shakespearean Actor
Band of Merry Men
Trapeze Artist
They all wear tights! 
Don’t grin like that. That’s the right answer. You should have a stern “I told you so” expression and a scowl.
Just kidding. Thanks for the answer.
I smiled because I was thinking about Mel Brooks’ **Men In Tights ** movie
Believe it or not, I was trying to make BROOKS be the answer before I finally had TIGHTS smack me in the head. Well, not the tights themselves, you know…
Okay. This one’s answer is two words, a 4-letter and a 5-letter.
