We have been running different kinds of character challenges on Facebook for a few weeks, including several new ones. We have also started offering prizes (free Skritter) to some of the correct answers. See our Facebook page for more info:

Here are some of the challenges:

1) Which character does not belong in this group and why? 狮、诗、虎、师

2) Guess what character this is a mnemonic to: "five mouths all speaking a different language"? (by Skritter user MK1977)

3) Spot the incorrect character: 你什么时侯要去中国呢？

Scroll down for the answers, but we of course encourage you to think long and hard before peeking!


























Answers:

These are our intended answers, but in some cases there are many acceptable answers.

1) 虎 (different pronunciation)

2) 语

3) 侯 should be 候
