Yahoo News Brainteaser: Can you spot the odd scone out in this tricky puzzle?
Scones always through up the controversial debate – clotted cream followed by jam, or jam first and then clotted cream?
As the rules go, the Devon way is clotted cream first followed by jam whereas in Cornwall, it's insisted that the jam should come first and then a dollop of clotted cream.
Either way, scones are a staple of a cream tea, so to celebrate Afternoon Tea Week, which commences from August 10th – 16th, Leisure has created a tricky brainteaser featuring an odd scone out made the Devon way.

Meanwhile, the pronunciation of scone also differs depending on area, with some pronouncing 'scone' to rhyme with 'gone', and others rhyming it with 'cone'.
