Can you spot the odd one out?

Puzzles are fun, and every now and again you need a quick little brain-teaser to distract yourself from the day. Here's that very puzzle.

Of the five shapes below, can you tell which one is the odd one out and why?

We'll give you a little time.

Scroll down for the answer, below:

The answer is...

The reason why is fairly simple:

All but one of the shapes is a square.

All but one of the shapes is red.

All but one of the shapes has an outline.

All but one of the shapes are the same height and width.

The large red square with an outline must therefore be the odd one out as it has no exceptional features.

We hope you enjoyed this puzzle, originally devised by Tanya Khovanova. Now get back to it.
